   I'm working on it Richard, little by little...   
      
   Just discovered %z too.   
      
   #include

   static int is_ascii_7bit(const char *s) {   
       const unsigned char *p = (const unsigned char *)s;   
       while (*p) {   
           if (*p >= 0x80) return 0;  // reject immediately   
           p++;   
       }   
       return 1;   
   }   
      
   static size_t ascii_width(const char *s) { return strlen(s); }   
      
   int main(void) {   
       const char *s = "élan"; // NOT 7-bit clean   
       printf("string:      %s\n", s);   
       printf("strlen:      %zu\n", strlen(s));   
       printf("7bit OK?:    %s\n", is_ascii_7bit(s) ? "YES" : "NO");   
       printf("ascii_width: %zu\n", ascii_width(s));   
       return 0;   
   }
