|    [vim] Jumping from current Unicode strin    |

   From: janis_papanagnou+ng@hotmail.com   
      
   In Vim I frequently jump from string to the next equal string using the   
   commands '*' (forward search'n'jump) and '#' (backward search'n'jump).   
      
   With Unicode characters that doesn't seem to always work (at least not   
   per default).   
      
   In the following (UTF-8 encoded) test sample there is one subset of   
   Omega words where * and # works correctly and one where it doesn't   
   (starting with the cursor on the first letter of any word)   
      
    Ωmega Ωmega Ωmega Ωmega Ωmega Ωmega Ωmega Ωmega   
      
   The difference is only the encoding of the first character of that   
   word ('\x03A9' versus '\x2126'). For words with Ω=\x03A9 it works but   
   not for words with Ω=\x2126.   
      
   Is there a way to fix or achieve that function for all UTF-8 encoded   
   words?
