Any pointer would be appreciated.Guile-1.8 has only byte strings, not Unicode character strings. However, the regexp procedures are locale aware, so you can use something like
/./ isn't smart enough to match Unicode graphemes. You would need /\X/, however that is not supported in POSIX ERE. Neither is the approximation /\P{M}\p{M}*+/.
