psql krym
krym=> \encoding
UTF8
krym=> create table test (txt varchar);
CREATE TABLE
krym=> insert into test values ('latin');
INSERT 0 1
krym=> insert into test values ('');
INSERT 0 1
krym=> select * from test;
txt

latin

(2 rows)

krym=> select * from test where txt ~* E'\\mla';
txt

latin
(1 row)

krym=> select * from test where txt ~* E'\\m';

escaping specials in regular expressions \m and \M for beginning of word and
end of word work for latin symbols bug don't for cyrillic
