Well, I guess it's a question of whether you're talking about a superset of the
underlying set of characters (CCS) or a superset of the mapping of the
characters to integers (CES). So perhaps it is best to simply avoid the word
superset entirely and say "all of the characters in iso-8859-2 are present in
windows-1250 but some are in different positions" or something along these
lines.
