In non-English countries, for all practical purposed, ASCII means 8-bit
"extended ASCII".  For example, in Central Europe, the second part of
ASCII would be ISO-8859-2 or CP-1250, containing accented characters.

I would say something like "a capital English alphabet character A
through Z (ASCII code 65 through 90)", which is 100% precise.
