You are using the entities:
 
    (1) encoding
    (2) character set.

If I understand you correctly these are 2 separate entities.
Can you (define || give examples || contrast || discuss) these 2 
entities.
Are there any references that directly discuss both encoding and 
character set?

The Debian documentation project (DDP) has a doc that discuss those 
entities. It is maintained by a Debian developer who is much active in 
the i18n business. Yet I could not follow the discussion there.
