Using ASCII Regex with HTML Input pattern

Following JavaScript & regex : How do I check if the string is ASCII only? how do I use the ASCII-only regex (/^[\x00-\x7F]*$/) in pattern attribute in HTML? I wish to restrict the user input to only ASCII characters.

<form class="row" name="marketDetails">
    <input type="text" class="form-control col-md-12 form-sm" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name"
                               value=""
                               maxlength="50"
                               pattern="[\x00-\x7F]"
                               ng-model="vm.marketMetaData.market_name" required/>
</form

Using pattern="[\x00-\x7F]" still lets me use non-ASCII character (e.g ¶) without any error in the form

Thanks.
