Though it doesn't really answer how to check for them, you might be better
off using a negative search pattern... looks like there's more characters
you DON'T want than things you DO want, anyway.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] preg_match and extended ASCII

I'm using preg_match to verify form data. I'm not sure how to handle 
accented characters, e.g., an "e" with an accent as in Mazda Protegé. 
Obviously the following pattern ( '/^[a-z0-9()\/\'"|&,. -]{2,55}$/i' ) 
doesn't cut it. I had tried [[:alnum:]] but that didn't do it either.
