I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

it seems very difficulat
any ready example?

Unfortunately its not going to get any less difficult, you have to take that expression that I wrote for you and then add the unicode support, to do this you have to add

\u

followed by the Hex value of the character so something like this:

[\\u2200-\\u22FF]

which checks for this range of chars:

{"#8704;", "#8712;", "#8734;", "#8707;", "#8713;", "#8747;", "#8810;", "#8743;"}

(a note, the above may render as #NNNN on your browser, it actually will search for the character itself)

You may want to take a look at the program PowerGREP which is a regular expression editor (though not free) or check out source forge as i *think* there is an open source RegEx editor on there.
