No. It will remove characters that are not in the "ASCII range" from
0x00 up to
0x7F. ASCII control chars (non- printable, incl. white space) will NOT be removed. It will remove characters above ASCII, starting with
0x80 (= 128), including "extended ASCII" or any other character set / encoding like UTF-8, on which your locale setting may depend.
You may want to consider starting over, making up your mind which chars you need, and which you don't, and rephrase your specification. Do you have examples of "target" chars ?

UNTEX(1) General Commands Manual UNTEX(1)
NAME
untex - strip LaTeX comands from input
SYNOPSIS
untex [ options ] [ files ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Untex removes some LaTeX commands from the files listed in the arguments (or standard input) and prints the output to standard output.
OPTIONS
- read from standard input.
-o remove options to LaTeX commands, i. e. everything in brackets [] behind a command.
-i process "include{file}" and "input{file}" and "input file" commands.
-m (try to) remove all math code.
-u replace all "a (etc.) with ibm (CP850) characters.
-uiso replace all "a (etc.) with ISO characters.
-uascii
replace all "a (etc.) with ascii characters.
-g replace all "a (etc., from german.sty) with ibm (CP850) characters.
-giso replace all "a (etc., from german.sty) with ISO characters.
-gascii
replace all "a (etc., from german.sty) with ascii characters.
-e remove environment names.
-a remove arguments of commands (not recommended).
-g implies -u, -a implies -o.
SEE ALSO
latex, tex, detex
BUGS
The -g and -u options only work for german accented characters. Not fixed due to lack of time, any help is appreciated. The includeonly
command is ignored.
Using -u option in a UTF-8 terminal doesn't work. Using it alone in a Latin1 terminal doesn't work either, you must also add -uiso.
AUTHORS
Untex was written by Michael Staats (michael@hal6000.thp.Uni-Duisburg.DE). The -gascii and -uascii options were added by Denis Endisch
(denis@smoky.ikf.physik.uni-frankfurt.de). Thanks to Subhasish Mazumdar (mazumdar@ringer.cs.utsa.edu) for some hints for improvements and
bug reports.
