@code{SELECTED_CHAR_KIND(NAME)} returns the kind value for the character
set named @var{NAME}, if a character set with such a name is supported,
or @math{-1} otherwise. Currently, supported character sets include
-``ASCII'' and ``DEFAULT'', which are equivalent.
+``ASCII'' and ``DEFAULT'', which are equivalent, and ``ISO_10646''
+(Universal Character Set, UCS-4) which is commonly known as Unicode.
