Thanks to Dan for his helpful exegesis of the Turkish spelling involved
here. But I must make a correction.

There IS NO SUCH THING as upper (or "8-bit") ASCII.

http://www-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/links/glossary/glossary-a.html :
ASCII (pronounced "Ask-ee") An acronym for American Standard Code for
Information Exchange, ASCII is an international standard in which numbers,
letters, punctuation marks, symbols and control codes are assigned numbers
from 0 to 127. Easily transferred over networks, ASCII is a plain,
unadorned text without style or font specifications.
