I can't really believe that this would be a problem, but if they're
integrated alphabets from different locales, will there be issues
with sorting (if we're not planning to use the locale)? Are there
instances where like characters were combined that will affect the
sort orders?
Another example is the chinese has no definite
sorting order, period. The commonly used scheme are
phonetic-based or stroke-based. Since many characters
have more than one pronounciations (context sensitive)
and more than one forms (simplified and traditional).
So if we have a mix content
If this is the case, how would a regex like ^[a-zA-Z] work (or other,
more
sensitive characters)? If just about anything can come between A and Z,
and
letters that might be there in a particular locale aren't in another
locale,
then how will regex engine make the distinction?

The A-Z syntax is really a shorthand for All the uppercase letters.
(Originally at least) I won't argue the problems with sorting various sets
of characters in various locales, but for regexes at least it's not an
issue, because the point isn't sorting or ordering, it's identifying
