According to the standard 0 to 127 is exactly the same for ascii and for utf-8,
so this is not a conflict.
Wikipedia reitterates this:
"The first 128 characters of Unicode, which correspond one-to-one with ASCII,
are encoded using a single octet with the
same binary value as ASCII, making valid ASCII text valid UTF-8-encoded Unicode
as well."
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8
I could dig up a more reputable source if its required.
Thanks,
