Infobox template for character encodings, character sets, code pages et cetera.
While the difference between a coded character set and a character encoding is clear in a Unicode context (UTF-8 and UTF-16 are different encodings for the same set), the difference is often blurred inby legacy encodings. For example, so-called "[[Windows-1252|WinLatin-1]]" is a ''de facto'' extension of the "Latin-1" (ISO 8859-1) ''encoding'', whereas so-called "[[Code page 850|DOS Latin-1]]" is an alternative, incompatible encoding (or transformation format) of the ISO 8859-1 ''charset''. Both add their own extensions, meaning that their own charsets, taken as wholes, have their own unique identity as well. For this reason, the same infobox template is presently used for both.
