Java regex before Java 7 worked with ASCII-only semantics. The newer regex
engine has many more Unicode features and a new flag
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASSto
enable proper Unicode handling.
Only the newer Java 7 engine with the flag would be ICU compatible, from
what I could read.
