Looking for some black magic that will match any string with “weird” characters in it. Standard ASCII characters are fine. Everything else isn’t.

This is for sanitizing various web forms.

    This gets anything out of the ASCII range

    [^\x00-\x7F]
    

    There are still some “weird” characters like x00 (NULL), but they are valid ASCII.
    For reference, see the ASCII table
