Plan 9 from Bell Labs uses the 16 bit Unicode character set and has a
regular expression library in the standard distribution. More information
at:
http://plan9.att.com/plan9/
http://plan9.att.com/magic/man2html/2/regexp (manual page)


One of the Plan 9 text editors, sam, has been ported to Unix and X windows
but still works with Unicode internally; it contains code to do regular
expressions too. You can get sam from
ftp://plan9.att.com/netlib/research/sam.shar.Z
