[...] Not sure (anymore) what problem you are trying to solve, but it might be that the coding directive already is the solution. If you want to constrain characters that you can use in a single source file, adding a coding directive will automatically impose such a constraint (namely, to the characters available in the encoding).
In particular, if you set the encoding to us-ascii, you have restricted your source file to ASCII only.
Alas, the coding directive is not good enough. Have a look at this:
