<upd_detl>Just the comment of a nonspecialist here, but "character 
code" doesn't seem correct as the term for an entire 
character set or character encoding. I only recall hearing 
"character code" as the number for a specific character. 
(The Wikipedia "Character Encoding" article, which I just 
checked, in fact uses "character code" a couple of times in 
this "wrong" way -- but who knows who wrote it.) At the 
least I suggest making "character encoding" your first 
definition.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Microsoft properly uses the plural in its "ANSI Character 
Codes Chart" (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/aa245259(v=vs.60).aspx). This example shows how a 
misunderstanding could arise, esp. among people whose 
language doesn't regularly use plural forms.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I don't think the examples are needed. "character encoding" is unambiguous.</upd_detl>
