I added PCRE_UCP on PHP 5.3.4 as a fix for bug #52971. [1]
For documentation just say something like:
"In unicode mode the unicode properties are used instead to classify
characters of some classes."
More information extracted from PCRE documentation [2]:
---------8<-------------------------------
[:alnum:] becomes \p{Xan}
[:alpha:] becomes \p{L}
[:blank:] becomes \h
[:digit:] becomes \p{Nd}
[:lower:] becomes \p{Ll}
[:space:] becomes \p{Xps}
[:upper:] becomes \p{Lu}
[:word:] becomes \p{Xwd}
Negated versions, such as [:^alpha:] use \P instead of \p.
The other POSIX classes are unchanged, and match only
characters with code points less than 128.
