Or so I was taught, way back when. you were taught wrong. null is a character, just one that has very specific uses. If you were intending to mean some 8-bit codepage, then you're not dealing with an ASCII table, you're dealing with a ISO-8859-1 table, or a MacRoman table, or a Windows 1252 table, or any of thousands of possible 8-bit encodings. Quite so, absolutely correct, but does it make a difference? it does if you want the correct characters.
