Hi,
Is it possible to create rules that match unicode characters?
For example, can I create a datatype rule that matches a range of Unicode
characters.
E.g.
MyRule : '\\u20'->'\\u60';
Or better, a datatype/terminal rule that matches a a unicode charater
class (similar to what can be done in regular expression, using the
Unicode class charater matchers: \p{Lu} to match all Unicode upper case
letters).
Thanks you!

I looked into the code and it seems like Xtext does not accept \u#### as
part of a string. I think there is a bugzilla missing.
We should allow to write something like this:
terminal MyRule: '\u20' .. '\u60';

I'm afraid this is not yet possible. Please file an enhancement request.
