I'd view ォ and サ as the same kind of punctuation as ". So it's not a
letter. And \b should match at letter <> non-letter boundaries.

Looks like Ruby is wrong.

Note that Ruby also allows you to use all kind of Unicode punctuation
in variable names. It just treats everything it doesn't know anything
about as lowercase letters AFAIK.

I'm not sure if there is an easy way of fixing it.
