You can use regexp_replace to remove sets of charcters and then
compare lengths or even the strings themselves:

SELECT some_text, LENGTH(some_text), re, LENGTH(re), some_text = re as
str_eq, LENGTH(some_text) = LENGTH(re) AS len_eq
FROM (SELECT some_text, regexp_replace(some_text, $re$[^[:ascii:]]
$re$, '', 'g') as re
FROM (VALUES ('foo'), ('foo bar baz'), ('foo.bar,baz'), ('foo
案')) AS samples(some_text)) AS s;

some_text | length | re | length | str_eq | len_eq
-------------+--------+-------------+--------+--------+--------
foo | 3 | foo | 3 | t | t
foo bar baz | 11 | foo bar baz | 11 | t | t
foo.bar,baz | 11 | foo.bar,baz | 11 | t | t
foo案 | 4 | foo | 3 | f | f
