 Production First Software Encyclopedia of Typography and Electronic Communication : C
The extent of a character set which can be handled is usually smallest with an application and largest with a keyboard (when the keyboard is used along with an input method editor).
Although a character set may consist of the same characters as an encoding, the basic distinction is that a character set does not have any notion or ordering, whereas the purpose of an encoding is to impart an ordering to a character set as part of a character glyph retrieval mechanism.
The distinction between using a combining character glyph along with another character glyph, and a ligature is that in the former case, the combining character glyph usually does not entirely give up its visual form.

 Box Drawing - Test for Unicode support in Web browsers
The characters that appear in the first column of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.
To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, Bjondi’s Character Agent, Apple’s TrueEdit, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.
If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2500.pdf.
