Hi in the docs, the function "ascii(text)" is described as returning "ASCII code of the first character of the argument"
(see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-string.html, Table 9-6. "Other String Functions"). Presumably this should read "ASCII code of the first byte of the argument", which is what is returned when the argument is a multi-byte character (although then with UTF-8 at least that might not necessarily be an ASCII code).
