Depends what you mean by unicode support: on windows if you use 
boost::wregex then you'll get a certain amount of Unicode support (character 
classification works for example, but surrogate pairs do not).

Alternatively in Boost-1.33 there is optional support for ICU 
(http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/index.jsp), which 
together with Boost.Regex provides level 1 Unicode regex support (so 
surrogate pairs do the right thing, and character classifications like 
[[:Lu:]] work).
