You need the UTF-8 characterset*.     Just like the codepoint 65 indicates
the letter "A" all other codepoints indicate other symbols (though some
codepoints will be represented by the same symbol).

* like this one: http://isthisthingon.org/unicode/index.phtml

In short, all you /can/ do is to figure out al the codepoints you wish to
accept and check for them.

No idea.   But looking at it it checks for ranges, which is, apart from the
range 32 .. 126 (the standard keyboard symbols), the opposite of what you
are after.
