Took me longer than I planned, but here it is. Still not 100% satisfied with the final handling of captions vs actual VF in case more options are selected, but that's a minor aspect and the whole thing works. Beware, certain filter are huge.

This is pretty amazing actually. Not only that, the file size

I have a bunch of files with Russian names and wanted a quick way to spot them. So I recalled what I did with Arabic and tried the same thing, but noticed that there are digraphs and other problematic stuff that prevent from creating an elegant and simple solution. Then I read the Holy Bible of regexes and found the \p{X} syntax - something cool to import in XY. The rest is history since XY regex engine has always some caveat to workaround.
