you'll need define characters want , don't want in result, can use replace replace characters outside of range with, e.g., empty strings. if wanted exclude basic latin, latin-1 supplement, latin extended-a, , latin extended-b ranges, (which ends being \u0000–\u024f) following:

select ?abstract ?cleanabstract {   dbpedia:mitsubishi dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract    filter langmatches( lang(?abstract), 'en')   bind(replace(?abstract,"[^\\x{0000}-\\x{024f}]","") ?cleanabstract) } 

sparql results

or simpler:

select (replace(?abstract_,"[^\\x{0000}-\\x{024f}]","") ?abstract) {   dbpedia:mitsubishi dbpedia-owl:abstract ?abstract_   filter langmatches(lang(?abstract_), 'en') } 

sparql results
