[pcre-dev] Using PCRE upon Asian and other two-byte national…

Good day!

Give just one clarifying please.
As I understand, there is no way to use PCRE patterns written in Asian
(Japanese SHIFT-JS and so on) and other national two-byte codings against
texts that written in such codings. It needs to convert both text and
pattern to UTF-8 first. If I need to change founded text than it must be
recoded to UTF-8, than processed with PCRE to find needed fragment, than
change fragment, and than decode all text back to SHIFT-JS.
Isn't it?

Thanks a lot.
