The ASCII Character Set

 A Lucida font name with "BAS" signifies that the font's character set is the Unicode Basic Latin set, which includes the basic Latin alphabet of 26 capital and 26 lowercase letters, plus numerals, punctuation, and symbols. Basic Latin is based on the ASCII character set standard (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) which has been used for 45 years. Basic Latin does not include accented characters but supports English as well as several other languages.* *(Including Asu, Bemba, Bena, Chiga, Congo Swahili, Cornish, Gusii, Indonesian, Kabuverdianu, Kalenjin, Kinyarwanda, Latin, Luo, Luyia, Machame, Makhuwa-Meetto, Makonde, Malay, Morisyen, North Ndebele, Nyankole, Oromo, Rombo, Rundi, Rwa, Samburu, Sangu, Shambala, Shona, Soga, Somali, Swahili, Taita, Teso, Vunjo, Zulu).
