yes.

Yes, I believe so.

Yes. Only Extended ASCII characters [128:255] are subject to sign issues. (is that valid english? o_O)

yes it is. congratulations.
you'll find that most americans unlike their british counterparts don't worry about valid english. [grin]

Isn't there supposedly some horrible system somewhere with 7 bit characters, meaning [64:127] could be negative?

Not that I care, I regularly make the probably false assumption that char is at least 8 bits.

You can store the full ascii set in 7 bits (0-127), so I suppose that you could have to deal with -ve ascii chars, but very few people ever use platforms with non-8 bit chars (for game development).
