  This function returns the charset property list of the character set
  @var{charset}.  Although @var{charset} is a symbol, this is not the same
  as the property list of that symbol.  Charset properties are used for
! special purposes within Emacs; for example,
! @code{preferred-coding-system} helps determine which coding system to
! use to encode characters in a charset.

+ 
+ Actually, the eighth bit of both @var{code1} and @var{code2} is zeroed
+ before they are used to index @var{charset}.  Thus you may use, for
+ instance, an ISO 8859 character code rather than subtracting 128, as
+ is necessary to index the corresponding Emacs charset.
