That's easy...they don't exist and so aren't handled.
NON-ASCII characters exist, and it is interesting to know how THEY
are handled.
That is not the case. US-ASCII stops at $7F and this plus the
remaining 128 characters comprise EXTENDED ASCII, the display of the
characters having 1 as the first bit of 8 being dependent on the
character set in question. So far as I'm concerned, it is perfectly
in order to refer to these code-points as hi-ascii or whatever and
the meaning will be clear. If it were not, you would have been
unable to deny their existence!
