Hi Richard,

Good point regarding the distinction between the human and the character set.

I did actually consider that distinction when writing it, but I struggled to find a phrasing that didn't feel clunky, which is why I settled on the version I sent. However, I agree that your suggestion is more technically accurate.

I'll adopt your wording in the next version. Thanks for the review!

Best, Jonatan
