No /w will not work. And . (period) will not work either. here is asdjflaw日本erjocd some text the japanese within this text looks like this \346\227\245\346\234\254 in unicode. it would not be matched by /w (letter or number set) or . (any character). each of the \ddd sets in the unicode character would be matched by a . (period)
