However, due to a limitation in Vim search (just slightly above 256
characters IIRC) it is not possible to search for just any character
anywhere in the whole kanji range — except by the above-mentioned
"anything but" method, which may give false positives. It is even
possible (if you use UTF-8) to exclude the whole of Latin1 (not just
7-bit us-ascii) by searching on
/^[^\x01-\xff]
Or without the ^ outside the [ ] to find non-Latin1 characters even
when not at the start of a line. But you can't exclude much more than
that due to that Vim limitation.
Best regards,
Tony.
