... Dennis Ritchie (I think) wrote a paper on wide-character regular
expression matching a few years ago; it used to be included in the
papers that came with Plan 9, but I haven't seen an online copy in
several years.
Probably the paper being thought of is the one by Rob Pike and Ken
Thompson; it's at
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/doc/utf.html
It's not especially detailed about specific techniques for REs,
but it describes the general approach used in Plan 9: use UTF-8
externally, convert to 16-bit Unicode internally.
