Description rahul abrol 2006-03-28 16:29:58 PST 
alert("ä".match(/\u00e4/))

correctly yields "ä" in firefox and opera, but not in safari/ToT.  on the other hand,

alert("ä".match(/ä/)) 

works fine across the board.

i didn't see this listed as part of bug 4885.

This is highly related to bug 7253 and bug 6257.
Comment 2 rahul abrol 2006-03-29 07:01:48 PST 
geoff's patch from bug 6257 fixes this, so i'm going to mark as dupe.
