The substitute glyphs might not be ASCII in the future. For example, on
Fedora 24 the console font 'cp1250' can display µ (U+00B5 MICRO SIGN)
but not μ (U+03BC GREEK SMALL LETTER MU), and it would be quite
reasonable for a future version of Emacs to display the latter as the
former using the approximation-glyph font.
It's true that the name 'approximation-glyph' is long and hard to spell.
Perhaps we can think of a better font name that doesn't imply ASCII. How
about 'homo-glyph'? That is more technically accurate anyway, as this
feature is all about homoglyphs.
