3 * Utilities for processing "special" characters in UTF-8. "Special" largely means anything which would
4 * be regarded as a non-word character, like ASCII control characters and punctuation. This has a "Roman"
5 * bias - it would be unaware of modern Chinese "punctuation" characters for example.

15 * Used internally. Builds a PCRE pattern from the $UTF8_SPECIAL_CHARS
16 * array defined in this file
17 * The $UTF8_SPECIAL_CHARS should contain all special characters (non-letter/non-digit)
18 * defined in the various local charsets - it's not a complete list of
19 * non-alphanum characters in UTF-8. It's not perfect but should match most
20 * cases of special chars.
21 * This function adds the control chars 0x00 to 0x19 to the array of
22 * special chars (they are not included in $UTF8_SPECIAL_CHARS)
26 * @see utf8_from_unicode
27 * @see utf8_is_word_chars
