+The original work to extend PCRE to 16-bit and 32-bit code units was done by Zoltan Herczeg and Christian Persch, respectively. In all three cases, strings can be interpreted either as one character per code unit, or as UTF-encoded @@ -198,9 +204,9 @@ use my two initials, followed by the two digits 10, at the domain cam.ac.uk.
