Problem
Is there a tool that can scan a small text file and look for any character not in the simple ASCII character set? A simple Java or Groovy script would also do.

Fix for: How can I find non-ASCII characters in text files?
Low Risk
Well, it's still here after an hour, so I may as well answer it. Here's a simple filter that prints only non-ASCII characters from its input, and gives exit code 0 if there weren't any and 1 if there were. Reads from standard input only.
