What is a coded character set?
<p><a href="http://unicode.org/glossary/" rel="nofollow">Glossary of Unicode Terms</a> defines <em>coded character set</em> as:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>A character set in which each character is assigned a numeric code point.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>But from the linguistic point of view those three words could be understood in two ways:</p>

<ol>
<li>(coded character) set = set of coded characters</li>
<li>coded (character set) = character set in which each character is assigned a code</li>
</ol>

<p>I feel, like the first interpretation is invalid and couldn't be treated as a synonym for #2. In my opinion first defines a set of characters, that has already been converted to codes and it's more like <em>codespace</em>.</p>

<p>On the other hand the very same glossary has a definition for <em>Code Set</em>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Code Set. (See coded character set.)</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Which led me to total confusion.</p>

<p>Could you please tell, if both of the interpretations are legitimate, or only #2 is correct. I am asking not only out of curiosity, but because I have a strong feeling, that the most widespread translation of this term to my native language is completely wrong.</p>
