Unlike some other languages in VimL range always meant range in current
encoding’s codepoints. So in UTF-8 [a-zA-Z] is literally “from U+0061 to
U+007a (inclusive) or from U+0041 to U+005A (inclusive)” and that does not
include characters like ä: vim regexes never had normal unicode support,
and locale support is rather limited and only considers locale
encoding (actually,
&encoding and not locale encoding, but unless you specify otherwise in
documentation one is derived from the other) AFAIK. I do not think this is
going to be ever fixed because making character ranges locale-dependent
changes their semantics significantly and where previously plugin author
may expect [a-zA-Z] to match all latin ASCII letters with such change this
is no longer the case. E.g. in Perl correct representation of [a-zA-Z] in
UTF-8 regex mode is something like `(?:(?=\pL)\p{Block=Basic_Latin})`: not
something one wants to write constantly.
