<codedCharSet>

<codedCharSet> (base coded character set) identifies a public or private coded character set which is used as a basic component of a writing system declaration.
Attributes Global attributes and those inherited from baseStandard
Example 






Note



Reference to a coded character set makes the set
of bit-pattern-to-character mappings defined in the coded character set
available for use in text encoded with the writing system declaration.
Unless the character inventory and mappings are modified by the
<exceptions> element, any character in any base coded character
set may be used with its standard meaning within text to which the
writing system declaration applies.



In order to make the mappings of bit patterns to characters more
explicit than they sometimes are in character-set standards, the TEI
will provide standard writing system declarations which document the
bit-pattern-to-character mappings defined by various commonly used coded
character sets.
