that won't work since char is a signed type so all chars outside the ASCII
range of 0 to 127 have negative values and are thus smaller than '~'.

yep, "ascii" is the wrong choice indeed. Most probably your text is encoded
as ISO-8859-1 (sometimes also referred to as latin1) or ISO-8859-15 (which
is an extended version of ISO-8859-1 that has the Euro symbol).
