I would create an array of characters according to your definition of 
English characters, and then check to see if any of those characters are 
in the string.

But since the trend appears to be in moving toward Unicode, the 
"official" distinction of an English character vs any other language's 
character is becoming blurry -- at least in the field of information 
delivery.
