Define language independent regular expression

Hi

I have to define one regular expression that should work in all the languages ( english, japanese ..... ) Like there are some characters which needs some special operations in my algorithm. In english I know that character set ( that is if some string is having character apart from a to z ) , but how do i write a regular expression that works in all languages...

thanks in advance

Java supports Unicode in regular expressions.Have a look at the [url= http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html]Pattern[/url] API for more info.
