I don't think this is an ISO question; the Emacs regexp engine does not
claim to match an ISO regexp spec (at least, not that I'm aware of).

In practice, this does work for non-ASCII characters in Emacs, so the
answer is "yes" for Emacs.

I haven't tested this with Aflex yet; I don't think Aflex will work with
non-ASCII text (one of the reasons I'm not planning to use it with
Emacs).

I suspect it would require a major rewrite to get Aflex to work with
UTF-8 or some other non-ASCII representation.
