I suggest that you revise the English name of the standard
to "Ethiopic Character Repertoire" in order to align with
international standards. A (coded) character set is understood
to be a mapping between characters and integer values.
Although "set" would be mathematically correct in the sense
used, "repertoire" is the term used in character standards
for a set of characters.
Even clearer would be to say "Ethiopic Character Repertoire and
Ordering", but that may not be necessary.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
