title: Difference between \p{Alpha} and \p{L} in Java
body: <p>As I get it <code>\p{L}</code> include all letters from Unicode symbols, <code>\p{Alpha}</code> is slightly the same but only for Latin letters(ASCII). At my work I have 'A' latin and 'A' cyrillic, and <code>\p{Alpha}</code> in old java  code don't match cyrillic symbols as letters. As I test it the <code>\p{L}</code> is solution for me. Can you folks give me some advice for this situation and what i shoud use in java code? On this page <a href="http://www.regular-expressions.info/posixbrackets.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.regular-expressions.info/posixbrackets.html</a> use <code>\p{Alpha}</code> for java code.</p>
