13.. function:: SELECTED_CHAR_KIND(NAME)
14
15 ``SELECTED_CHAR_KIND(NAME)`` returns the kind value for the character
16 set named :samp:`{NAME}`, if a character set with such a name is supported,
17 or -1 otherwise. Currently, supported character sets include
18 'ASCII' and 'DEFAULT', which are equivalent, and 'ISO_10646'
19 (Universal Character Set, UCS-4) which is commonly known as Unicode.
