A character set is a set of characters like QWERTY that is the standard character set for the keyboard. It includes all the characters you can see on your keyboard, but also ones that you cannot see, like letters from foreign alphabets, or special mathematical symbols or currency symbols. If you know how, it is possible to type them from your keyboard, even though you cannot see them on the keys, by using code numbers that the character sets have for each character. There are different character sets used on computers. Some of the well known ones are ASCII and UniCode. You can also get special characters through the Insert Symbol options in some applications, like word processors.
