I'm suspecting that there is no advantage in choosing ASCII encoding over UTF8, since anything ASCII encoded would be exactly the same size as if it is UTF8 encoded and besides, UTF8 provides support for characters that happen to be outside the range.

Could someone point out one area in which we will ever choose ASCII instead of UTF8 ?

All characters in ASCII can be encoded using UTF-8 without an increase in storage (both requires a byte of storage).

UTF-8 has the added benefit of character support beyond "ASCII-characters". If that's the case, why will we ever choose ASCII encoding over UTF-8?

Is there a use-case when we will choose ASCII instead of UTF-8?

I'm suspecting that there is no advantage in choosing ANSI encoding over UTF8, since anything ANSI encoded would be exactly the same size as if it is UTF8 encoded and besides, UTF8 provides support for characters that happen to be outside the range.
