It tells the engine to use Unicode to identify characters. Looking for a good help channel about mIRC? Check #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net

As Wims mentioned, you will need to use the /u modifier in the latest mIRC beta to handle Unicode characters or you can use (UCP)(UTF8) at the start of the pattern (see PCRE for more information).
