That paragraph is (supposed to be) the definition. these terms are not
mentioned before and are introduced in this paragraph which (attempts to)
describe them

Same code point value.
Say your literal encoding is ASCII, the code point value for 'A' is 65,
then the execution encoding is such that the code point value of A is also
65.
I struggled a bit with the formulation.
I'm trying to say that both the execution character set and encoding are
""super sets"" of the literal ones, but "super set" of encoding does not
seem like a good formulation.
