Character Encoding Reference Chart

Charset Reference

The following chart is a complete listing of all character encoding schemes and their aliases. You might want to restrict yourself to the bold names as I am not quite sure though, that browsers recognize all names. A more detailed current list [TXT] you find at IANA.

A note on the term charset:
The W3C recommends using the term character encoding instead of the terms charset and character set:
Specifications SHOULD avoid using the terms 'character set' and 'charset' to refer to a character encoding, except when the latter is used to refer to the MIME charset parameter or its IANA-registered values. The term 'character encoding', or in specific cases the terms 'character encoding form' or 'character encoding scheme', are RECOMMENDED.
