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

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/multibyte.html#MULTIBYTE-CHARSET-SUPPORTED

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      

Best regards,
