They do but the snag is they follow the encoding of the locale...

so I think we're better with the built-in.

But there is a new library 'Oniguruma' appeared recently that supports 
lots of encodings including utf-8 and utf-16. And it supports the 
Unicode standard for regex syntax http://unicode.org/reports/tr18/, and 
has some niffty features like being able to emulate the syntax other 
libraries.

I'll have a look into it.
