I only see two reasons for non-ASCII signs in English.
Either it is a foreign name of e.g. a person
or it is a word that English took from French like in déjà vu.
For the second I am sure you will find synonyms that are ASCII only.

The only other reason that I can see for non-ASCII signs in our docs is
for demonstrating collations.
