Anything with an ASCII value higher than 127. This is because the ASCII
standard only defines characters for numbers 0 thru 127; anything beyond that,
i.e. the so-called "high ASCII" characters, is left to the whim of whichever
implementors. This handler will show you all of those bad boys:
on ShowMeBadBoys
put "" into Rezult
repeat with K1 = 128 to 255
put numToChar (K1) after Rezult
if (the length of Rezult) mod 32 = 0 then put return after Rezult
end repeat
answer Rezult
end ShowMeBadBoys
If you need a more permanent record of Rezult, you can modify this handler
to print it out or store it in a field or whatever...
