Sheesh, an 18-year old typo.

Fixed on the release branch.

Hello.

The following sequence of interactions causes the error:

  describe-character-set: Invalid charset: "chinese-py”

The steps to reproduce this bug is as follows:

  M-x list-input-methods
  ↳ chinese-py-b5 ; click this link
    ↳ chinese-py  ; click this link causes the error
      ↳ describe-character-set: Invalid charset: "chinese-py"

Expect the broken link to `chinese-py’ within `chinese-py-b5’ to jump to the place as follows:

  M-x list-input-methods
  ↳ chinese-py

This is on Emacs 26.1 rc-1 macos.
