unchartered/uncharted: Common Errors in English Usage Entry for Saturday, September 22, 2012.

unchartered/uncharted 
“Unchartered” means “lacking a charter,” and is a word most people have little use for. “Uncharted” means “unmapped” or “unexplored,” so the expression meaning “to explore a new subject or area” is “enter uncharted territory.” Similarly, it’s uncharted regions, waters, and paths.
