Comment(by sirzooro):

 PCRE functions in PHP 4.3 are utf-8-aware - excerpt from
 [http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php PHP
 documentation for Pattern Modifiers]:

 >u (PCRE8)[[BR]]
 >This modifier turns on additional functionality of PCRE that is
 incompatible with Perl. Pattern strings are treated as UTF-8. This
 modifier is available from PHP 4.1.0 or greater on Unix and from PHP 4.2.3
 on win32. UTF-8 validity of the pattern is checked since PHP 4.3.5.


 So in 4.3 we do not have checks for utf-8 pattern validity, but
 functionality is present.
