Hi folks,

I'm wondering if anyone has codified a regular expression that would
indicate the presence of non-Latin characters.  I want to detect the
presence of non-Roman letters in authority records.  Currently
Authorities with non-Roman forms of name place these in the 4XX fields.
Our system can't handle that so I want to flip them to 5XX and possibly
add a subfield to note what they but first I need something to detect
them

I had in mind something like \xE0-\xFE which detects diacritics nicely.
I'd prefer not to figure it out for myself if someone else has already
done it.
Thanks in advance.
JJ
