You have multiple options. Please check one of them:

- Let pcre validate the input (can be slow if the input is large)
- You validate the input, and tell pcre that the input is valid
(\=no_utf_check)
- You can tell pcre that the input might be invalid. Here is an example:

re> /./match_invalid_utf
data> \x80\xff#

0: #

The last option has a performance overhead, but there are cases when it is
useful.
