There is a way to make Regexps work with accents and other characters (including chinese ones) if we use some Regexp's special characters:
\w Any word character (letter, number, underscore) \W Any non-word character What we want our regexp to catch in this case is: "word_character AND NOT number AND NOT underscore". Regexp does not support ANDs, but it support ORs ([]) and NOTs ([^]). We can translate the same sentence above as: "NOT (NOT word_character OR number OR underscore)". Which we can translate to regexp as: /[^\W\d\_]/ It actually works on Ruby 1.8.6 and you can check on Rubular: http://rubular.com/regexes/5550 The only problem is that it does not check for uppercase or lowercase characters, so this won't help in the underscore inflector. But since you have to change another regexps this may help you in a way that it works for more cases and it would be also faster then using unicode character classes (which might actually be the only way to solve the underscore case).
