I really didn't think it would be necessary to point this out (I thought 
the "<ducks>" and emoji would be enough), but for the record, my 
previous message was clearly a joke.

To break it down, Stephen was making the observation that people call 
all sorts of extended ASCII encodings (including proprietary things) 
"ASCII". So I took it to the extreme and called something that had 
nothing to do with ASCII a type of ASCII.

As they say, if one has to explain one's jokes then they are probably 
not funny ...

<sigh> :(
