+    Since Symfony 3.2, you can enable UTF-8 route matching by setting the ``utf8``
+    option when declaring or importing routes. This will make e.g. a ``.`` in
+    requirements match any UTF-8 characters instead of just a single byte.
+    The option is automatically enabled whenever a route or a requirement uses any
+    non-ASCII UTF-8 characters or a `PCRE Unicode property`_ (``\p{xx}``,
+    ``\P{xx}`` or ``\X``). Note that this behavior is deprecated and a
