Sorry for the offtopic, but I thought this homemade function I wrote
some time ago for my work might perhaps be useful to some Orgers. When
executed in a buffer, the `list-non-latin-chars' function opens a window
displaying a list of all the non (basic) Latin characters present in
that document. Each item in the list contains the character, its Unicode
canonical name, and its hexadecimal code. For example:
殿 CJK IDEOGRAPH-6BBF #6bbf
Also, each item is a button (created with button.el). If the button
is activated, there are currently two options: a: execute occur on that
character in the document; b : execute describe-char on that character.
By default, the characters displayed in the list correspond to any
Unicode block other than basic-latin. Which means that the zero width
space character is included, a very famous character in this mailing
list :-)
And here is the code (lexical binding is required). Of course, feedback
welcome.
Best regards,
Juan Manuel

Very very nice,
Till now I used only a very simple search function
(defun my-search-no-ascii ()
"Simple function to search for no ASCII symbols in a file."
(interactive)
(skip-chars-forward "\001-\177"))
That is so much better!

Equivalently you can do
(skip-chars-forward "[[:ascii:]]")
(or use `re-search-forward' with the [:nonascii:] character class.)
