Well, if you only want exact character
Well, the good news is that ASCII is a proper subset of Latin-1. By that,
I mean that every ASCII character is also a Latin-1 character, with the
exact same bit encoding in an 8-bit byte (an octet). Of course, ASCII is
a 7-bit encoding (coded character set), but it is very frequently

8859-1 is a superset of ASCII (of US-ASCII, to be precise, but you seem to be using
that).
US-ASCII uses byte values 0..127 (7 bits),
If you need to roundtrip 8859-1 through ASCII, you need to use some kind
of escape mechanism inside the ASCII to represent characters that have
their high bit equal to one. A common simple escape is to use the
backslash. So you could represent the codes as \'xx, where xx is the
hexadecimal code.
