I need to use refind to deal with strings containing accented characters like
?itt? l?su, but it doesn't seem to find them. Also when using it with cyrillic
characters , it won't find individual characters, but if I test for [\w] it'll
work.

I found a livedocs that says cf uses the Java unicode standard for characters.
Is it possible to use refind with non latin characters or accented characters
or do I have to write my own Java?

works fine for me using unicode data:

<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<cfscript>
t="Tá mé in ann gloine a ithe; Ní chuireann sé isteach nó amach orm";
s="á";
writeoutput("search:=#t#<br>for:=#s#<br>found at:=#reFind(s,t,1,false)#");
</cfscript>

what's the encoding for your data?
