As to standards, UTS#18 'Unicode Regular Expression' Requirement RL1.2 requires the support of the 'property' it calls 'ASCII', which is defined in Section 1.2.1 as the property of being in the range U+0000 to U+007F. This implicitly makes 'not ASCII' a derived property held by all the other codepoints. If you fear that your audience will think that Latin-1 characters are ASCII, you'll just have to go for the clumsy 'not 7-bit ASCII' and accept that there isn't an unambiguous way in English of turning that into an adjective or noun. If a term were invented, you'd generally have to explain it, and you would do better just to remind readers what ASCII is. Richard.
