(Band the regex is (?:

$B$*$+$($j(B

You sent UTF and my client doesn't handle it that's why the above is
mojibake, (I sent it to Mozilla and it reads fine).

I don't know how much experience you have with J-regex but the biggest
issue is anchoring. Because it's double byte you can't be sure you're
matching from the first byte of a character.

Can be sure that it is really matching the characters you think it is?
