There was a problem hiding this comment.
Feels like a simplification.

Could it be that the term "character type" was only introduced by https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2314r4.html in 2021, long after the Filesystem wording was made? So maybe this is just missed cleanup |

The terms "encoded character type(s)" (introduced in [fs.req]) and "character type(s)" (introduced in [basic.fundamental]) mean exactly the same set of types. It's probably better to avoid such duplicate. And the current preference seems to be using "character type" throughout the library wording, rather than renaming the term in the core wording.
Closes #5638.
