For instance, in ASCII, it is safe to assume that C<sizeof(char1) == sizeof(char2)>, but in UTF-8 it isn't. Unicode case folding is vastly more complex than the simple rules of ASCII, and even when not using Unicode but only localised single byte encodings, things can get -tricky (for example, GERMAN-SHARP-ESS should match 'SS' in localised -case-insensitive matching). +tricky (for example, B<LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S> (U+00DF, E<szlig>) +should match 'SS' in localised case-insensitive matching). Making things worse is that UTF-8 support was a later addition to the regex engine (as it was to perl) and this necessarily made things a lot |
