Hello Arachnids:
All I know is that there are 256 characters in the standard ascii chart.
Chacters are numbered zero thru 255. I don't know if there is a difference
between US ascii and standard ascii. It is my understanding that the
"higher" ascii characters are those that fall in the range between 128 and
255. This discussion is beginning to sound like an argument over where
we should draw the line between the lower octaves and the higher octaves
of a musical composition. There appears to be no universally accepted
authority.
Also I think it would be very nice if everyone would read from the same
sheet of music. Then nobody would be singing off-key. It is only a matter
of personal opinion and preference as to which key sets the best mood. It
is universally agreed that if the members of the chorus cannot agree on
which key to sing their tune, then the whole performance will sound
positively awful.
