Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that UTF-8 is a "multibyte" character set that represents ASCII as single-byte characters and many other characters as variable numbers of bytes. This is oversimplifying (and not very clear on my part) - see UTF-8 on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8
The bottom line is that UTF-8 characters that are not single-byte do not have an ASCII representation, whereas UTF-8 that is only ASCII characters is byte-for-byte the same as the ASCII representation. Perhaps you are hoping to filter out (discard) the multi-byte, non-ASCII characters. Is that what you want to do?
