It does not say that C requires ASCII - it just gives the chart for 
convenient reference.

And while it is perfectly true that C does not /require/ ASCII, 
virtually all real-world C programs, C compilers, C programmers, and C 
run-time environments work in ASCII as the main character set. 
(Possibly they will use Unicode as well, but that matches ASCII at the 
start.)

Yes, there /are/ systems which use EBCDIC - and probably a few other 
character sets.  But the percentage of usage is totally negligible for 
most people - and for those that /do/ need something other than ASCII, 
they know what they are doing.


The site is a reference site and guideline for practical programming. 
It does not attempt to duplicate the standards in all their details - it 
tries to provide a balance that is more useful to programmers.

But have a look here if you are worried about its treatment of character 
sets.
