The classic definition is:

Codepage: "An ordered set of characters in which a numeric index (code point 
values) is associated with each character. The first 128 characters of each 
codepage are functionally the same and include all characters needed to type 
English text. The upper 128 characters of OEM and ANSI codepages contain 
characters used in a language or group of languages ".

Actually "encoding" would be a more precise term since utf8 can rappresent
more than 256 characters.
