Talk:Chinese character sets

Chinese title
How would you translate this article title to Chinese? 字符集? 字汇?

I ask because this article has some overlap with Chinese character encodings, so I want to add some verbiage to differentiate.

 * "汉字字符集" or "汉字集" in short, are the terms usually used. Thank you for your consideration and thoughtfulness.
 * Yes, there is some overlap. But Chinese character encodings is limited to the character sets used in communication among computers and other digital devices, which only happen in modern Chinese language. Chinese character sets cover all sets of Chinese characters in history and in modern society, including those of dictionaries and character lists/tables for different purposes.
 * Thanks again for your help,

 * PS. the character sets of Chinese character encodings are often called 汉字编码字符集 by the PRC standards. Ctxz2323 (talk) 05:05, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * In Taiwan, it is called 字元集 (in Traditional Chinese). Ctxz2323 (talk) 05:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Article scope
So, is this article about any set of characters, which would include the concepts of "dictionaries", "standards", and "encodings"? (Understanding there are also distinct articles for the first and third of those.) I'm still trying to get Chinese characters itself to GA status, and I think the way I'd like to progress on that is improve its "subarticles" and then adapt them using summary style back into the main article.
