It wasn't a list that I was looking for, just some idea of what a charset is. I've read just enough about this area to know that there is a lot of terminology describing similar but subtly different concepts, like locales, charsets, code pages; chars, code points, glyphs; encodings, etc. If it's a case of Guile's "charset" mapping exactly to some well-known external definition of "charset", all I'm asking for is a reference to that external definition.
