But why not collect it all into a Unicode string?
I guess I will have to do that to keep the Japanese text

The data is very unpredictable language-wise. I have a table where each
cell in any row can be either Japanese or English.
When I test for Ascii number, the character is first converted to
normal string, so I can't use this method.
My only real road-block is looking at a unicode string and figuring out
if it's in English or Japanese.
My other issue is that I'm working on a Mac OS X setup for Japanese, so
I can have simple strings in Japanese.
