Of course it does. Any text byte with its high order bit set is a "High ASCII" character. Unfortunately there isn't a single uniform standard text encoding for what those bytes represent. But that certainly doesn't mean they don't exits. There are several text encodings that use ASCII in the lower 7 bits (lower 128 character slots) and other character encodings in the upper 128 character slots. It's prefectly reasonable to talk about these as a class of High ASCII text encodings.
