'Rendering character' would also be good enough (if clearly defined).
On this point, I speak now only as a terminologist, aware that nothing
fouls up language/comms faster than ragbag collections of words with
multiple meanings stripped of the proper distinctions between them (in
the case of words such as 'charracter', etc., in Unicode, it should be
very easy to supply an unambiguous definition for each term of the
limited vocabulary Unicode needs).
