As Jens Alfke pointed out yesterday, the doc states: Return value: A character set containing the characters in the categories Letters and Marks. Discussion : Informally, this set is the set of all characters used as letters of alphabets and ideographs. So, it should not depend on the locale. It is however a huge set !

Maybe you could drop the extra textfields and the processing by requesting the variable name to use an english alphanumeric character set ? Otherwise, how would you deal with this input for a variable name: 名前 ? [ If I am a japanese user, I would expect your software to call the variable "namae" ]. IMHO the whole unicode character set is too large. Most language won't accept the largest part of the set.
