I'll assume that (a) you want to accomplish this without using a UDF (but why??) and (b) this is a LATIN column, not Unicode. Non-ASCII, then,
just means that one of the characters is x'80' or greater. So you could do this:
where substr(suspect_column, 1,1) >= '80'xc
or substr(suspect_column, 2,1) >= '80'xc
or substr(suspect_column, 3,1) >= '80'xc
or ... etc.
I'd rather go with the UDF.
