Hi,
I'm from Israel and I have a problem with Hebrew + PHP.
I am using the function PREG but one of the Hebrew letters, PHP doesn't recognize as a letter (The letter is "?").
That makes the following problems:
\b- if the letter start or finish a word PHP won't consider her.
\w-PHP doesn't consider her as a letter? and more?
I hope there is something to do about it.

P.S ? Excuse me for any spelling problems, I don't write so good in English?
Thank you very much.
Ido.

This might be a locale problem. Try setting your locale, e.g. like so:

setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"Hebrew");

Without knowing your locale, PHP (or the underlying C library) has no chance of knowing which character codes are letters and which are punctuation (the letter you wrote looks like a division symbol in my locale with its ISO-8859-1 character set).
