Again, please read RFC 6365. ASCII means several things (is it a character encoding scheme, a coded character set, etc.?), but in these days of Unicode and UTF-8 it's least confusing to refer to it only as the ASCII range of characters within the Unicode coded character set since the characters in the ASCII range are represented using the same bytes under UTF-8 as they were back in the old days of the ASCII character encoding scheme.
