It seems, e.g. in Perl, there are some omissions too http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode.html#Unicode-Regular-Expression-Support-Level

Do you know of any re engine fully complying to to tr18, even at the first level: "Basic Unicode Support"? I would say Perl comes very close. At least it explicitly documents the missing features and offers workarounds in its reference manual. I am actually not as concerned about missing features as I am about non-conformance in the widely used features such as digits' matching with '\d'.
