Unicode code-points up to U+007F are represented as 8-bit bytes with the same value, so counting bytes <0x80 gives you the number of US-ASCII characters. Characters above U+007F are represented with multiple bytes, the first >= 0xC0, the trailing bytes are all >= 0x80. So to count characters, one way is to count all bytes less <= 0x7F or >= 0xC0.
