"23.3.1. Supported Character Sets
Table 23.3 shows the character sets available for use in PostgreSQL."

But the table actually shows encodings (more precisely, "character
encoding scheme") (BIG5...EUC_JP... UTF8). I think we need one more
column for "character sets" (more precisely, "coded character sets").

Encoding   Character set                ...
BIG5       Big5-2003
:
EUC_JP     ASCII, JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212, JIS X 0201
:
UTF8       Unicode      

Wouldn't that make the table very wide? And for e.g. European character encodings I am not sure it is that useful since most or maybe even all of them are subsets of unicode, it mostly gets interesting for encodings which support characters not in unicode, right?
