cases, characters that would logically be grouped together are split
into several character sets.  For example, one set of Chinese
characters, generally known as Big 5, is divided into two Emacs
character sets, @code{chinese-big5-1} and @code{chinese-big5-2}.

@defun charsetp object
Returns @code{t} if @var{object} is a symbol that names a character set,
@code{nil} otherwise.
@end defun

The optional argument @var{translation} specifies a translation table to
be used in scanning the text (@pxref{Translation of Characters}).  If it
is non-@code{nil}, then each character in the region is translated
through this table, and the value returned describes the translated
characters instead of the characters actually in the buffer.

When a buffer contains non-@sc{ascii} characters, codes 128 through 255,
they are assigned the character set @code{unknown}.  @xref{Explicit
Encoding}.

@defun find-charset-string string &optional translation
This function returns a list of the character sets that appear in the
string @var{string}.  It is just like @code{find-charset-region}, except

@code{eight-bit-control}, and codes 160 through 255 are in character set
@code{eight-bit-graphic}.
