There are NO other character in the ASCII character set.

Says who? The abstract on the ANSI website[1] for example talks about
"128 characters (control characters and graphics characters such as
letters, digits, and symbols) with their coded representation." There
are lots of other references which call all of these 128 thingies
"characters." In fact, you yourself just said "ASCII /character/
set," didn't you?
