Would the expression  [!-~]  work for you? I've tried it, and
it works for US-ASCII printable characters. If you need to look
for accented characters as well, check the Character_Sets.pdf
file (Frame "Online Manual") for the last character in the list
for your OS. (On MacOS, it's the caron & you can insert it into
the search string with Option-Shift-t.)
