What do you mean with "%s" ? > Source text: "וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ" > > If I search using / for \u05b8 the search fails.

Perhaps, depends on how you look at it. A search normally sees a character plus any following combining character as one item. Therefore a match will be tried at a base character, and the next tries at the next base character. There is no try for a match on a composing character. This may seem wrong when searching for a composing character, but many items such as "." would match while they should not. You can prepend a "." before the composing character and then somehow handle matching the base character as well. This is a bit tricky. -- The MS-Windows registry is no more hostile than any other bunch of state information... that is held in a binary format... a format that nobody understands... and is replicated and cached in a complex and largely undocumented way... and contains large amounts of duplicate and obfuscated information...
