I suspect that where there is a need for Unicode then there is also a
need to use the sort order for a particular country, which will not in
general be either the octet order or the code-point order.

There is only one flavor of ASCII. The ISO 8859 character sets are not
ASCII.
Generally you will need to tell any conversion program what the source
and target code pages are.
