Most text encodings are supersets of 7-bit ascii, so in short yes, valid ascii is also UTF8/16, lantin-1 and most other western text encodings, but ascii is most valuable as a data-encoding because it is independent of the endianness of the computer - it takes less space to store most data in binary, but the bit patterns for the same data will vary from computer to computer, making the data less portable
