Chunk expressions don't work correctly with unicode text right now 
though I believe it is being worked on.  You have to write your own 
chunk handlers for use with  unicode text.  Take a look at the sample 
stack "Unicode text manipulation examples" at 
<http://runrev.com/Revolution1/developercentral/usercontributions.html> 
which shows some examples of getting lines in a field, etc.
