Nope. ASCII is a 7 bit character set, so 2^7=128, the first 32 characters
are control characters, and no. 127 shouldn't be used, either.
Because the smallest addressable unit on modern PCs is an 8 bit word (aka
byte), the msb is used for a kind of "extended character set" which is not
part of the ASCII standard.
