I'm not sure that helps. So an English character is any character that can appear in an English sentence? Are the Chinese words mixed in the Firefly English characters, too then? What makes a Chinese loan word different from a French loan word?
This seems a remarkably, stupidly pedantic point. Would Microsoft have created less overall user confusion by using the term non-ASCII and making all the nontechnical users look up what that means?
