I'd define a map (Ada.Strings.Wide_Maps) to map non-ASCII characters
to ASCII.Nul or whatever might be appropriate, then write a loop to do
the actual copy from the map output character by character. Let the
compiler optimize the loop.

Or you can use Ada.Strings.Handling.To_Character in the loop, if you
don't need a full map.

Convert to the Ada type, then proceed as above.
