As noted in RFC 6365:
"Latin characters" is a not-precise term for characters
historically related to ancient Greek script as modified in the
Roman Republic and Empire and currently used throughout the world.
<RFC6365>
The base Latin characters are a subset of the ASCII repertoire and
have been augmented by many single and multiple diacritics and
quite a few other characters. ISO/IEC 10646 encodes the Latin
characters in including ranges U+0020..U+024F and U+1E00..U+1EFF.
Because "Latin characters" is used in different contexts to refer
to the letters from the ASCII repertoire, the subset of those
characters used late in the Roman Republic period, or the
different subset used to write Latin in medieval times, the entire
ASCII repertoire, all of the code points in the extended Latin
script as defined by Unicode, and other collections, the term
should be avoided in IETF specifications when possible.
Similarly, "Basic Latin" should not be used as a synonym for
"ASCII".
