I'm going to stop you right there. ASCII is not an 8-bit code. It is a 7-bit code, per USAS (later ANSI) X3.4-1968 and ECMA-6. https://ia800800.us.archive.org/35/items/enf-ascii-1968-1970/Image070917151315.pdf https://ecma-international.org/wp-content/uploads/ECMA-6_6th_edition_december_1991.pdf Anyone who speaks of code points above 0x7F as being "ASCII" literally does not know what they are talking about.
