The phrase is important!
"""any given character delimited"""
I read this as ANY character of ASCII, UNICODE or binary!
An assumption that the delimiter is any printable ASCII character was not even in my thoughts.
So until the OP clarifies what "any given character delimited" is then we have to assume the "0x00" and "0x80 to 0xFF" characters might be wanted, removed or replaced.
