ASCII only uses 7 bits values, so no larger representation can be "the same
as ASCII for values greater than 127".

This may be seen as nit picking, but when discussing character encodings and
representations, the issues can become so subtil and confusing, that it's
very important to be as rigorous as possible.

I've been bitten too many times, and sometimes I'm not 100% sure whether I
really know what I'm talking about.

Or possibly,I don't know what I'm talking about at all, and I'm the only one
to be confused.
