Definitions of ascii character set:

The standard set of Roman characters, with character-code values from $00 to $7F. Also called low ASCII, to distinguish them from character codes with values from $80 to $FF, which are sometimes called high ASCII or extended ASCII. The Roman characters that are part of each non-Roman character set are the low ASCII set only. Compare Macintosh character set and Standard Roman character set.

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), generally pronounced (in IPA), is a character set and a character encoding based on the Roman alphabet as used in modern English and other Western European languages (see English alphabet). It is most commonly used by computers and other communication equipment to represent text and by control devices that work with text.
