You can also use the (documneted) \p{L} property:

chastell@devielle:~$ ruby -ve "p '=E2=84=89=C3=BC=C3=BC=C3=BC' =3D~ /\p{L}/"
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [x86_64-linux]

BTW: I find http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html#prop
most useful.

I should like to find the person who decided that since
=E2=80=98bookmarks=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98history=E2=80=99 were both lists o=
f URLs they
ought to be integrated in a single database. I should like
to shake him warmly by the throat until his head comes off.
