Make sure that your pattern and string are utf8 and you wont have
problems and will get faster runtimes.

All use encoding 'utf8' is doing in that example is forcing your input
and code to be interpreted as utf8. You could easily do the same thing
in many other ways in code. In fact its recommended you avoid use
encoding at all.
