lex for Chinese character

Hi,
I need to read one chinese char using lex. I tried using "." ( period ) for pattern matching but in vain.
Could anyone suggest me how do i proceeed.
Sample pgm: to read a chinese char in single quotes.
%{
#include <locale.h>
%}
%%
\'.\' printf("SUCCESS\n");
. printf("Failed\n");
}
%%
main()
{
setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
yylex();
}
This always prints me "Failed" message. I cannot use '.+' for matching for my application.
I can view the chinese char with locale settings on my machine. I am using linux machine . Locale set is : zh_CN.utf8.

Thank You

NAME
lex - generator of lexical analysis programs SYNOPSIS
lex [ -tvn ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION
Lex generates programs to be used in simple lexical analysis of text. The input files (standard input default) contain regular expressions to be searched for and actions written in C to be executed when expressions are found. A C source program, lex.yy.c is generated. This program, when run, copies unrecognized portions of the input to the output, and executes the associated C action for each regular expression that is recognized. The options have the following meanings. -t Place the result on the standard output instead of in file lex.yy.c. -v Print a one-line summary of statistics of the generated analyzer. -n Opposite of -v; -n is default. EXAMPLES
This program converts upper case to lower, removes blanks at the end of lines, and replaces multiple blanks by single blanks. %% [A-Z] putchar(yytext[0]+'a'-'A'); [ ]+$ [ ]+ putchar(' '); FILES
lex.yy.c output /sys/lib/lex/ncform template SEE ALSO
