 The \fB/8\fP modifier causes \fBpcretest\fP to call PCRE with the PCRE_UTF8  
 option set. This turns on support for UTF-8 character handling in PCRE,  
 provided that it was compiled with this support enabled. This modifier also  
 causes any non-printing characters in output strings to be printed using the  
 \ex{hh...} notation if they are valid UTF-8 sequences.

 If the \fB/?\fP modifier is used with \fB/8\fP, it causes \fBpcretest\fP to  
 call \fBpcre_compile()\fP with the PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK option, to suppress the  
 checking of the string for UTF-8 validity.
