UTF8 is upward compatible with ASCII. That is, all seven-bit ASCII characters are valid UTF8 characters.
I don’t want to be pedantic here (sigh, anything involving Unicode always becomes pedantic) but Rich, it wouldn’t actually be a good idea to require “UTF-8”. What you want to require is UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters, and probably not all of them. PRECIS in RFC8264 provides a fully-thought-through subset of Unicode for identifiers. If that’s too complicated, https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bray-unichars-09.html, now under AD sponsorship by Orie, provides a much simpler but still useful subset.
