How does the data_coding field work

Hi I have read through the SMPP v3.4 spec, the Kannel user guide and some other PDFs from the SMS Forum but I am still a little in the dark about this field. Please correct me where I am wrong: It seems that the data_coding field is made up of 2 distinct sections. Firstly, coding scheme, bits 3
