I wonder what particular UTF-8 regex features are you interested in?
For literal UTF-8 byte sequence match, it already works, for example,
replace_filter '你好' 'hello';

For full UTF-8 support, like making "." matching a UTF-8 char instead
of a single octet, or those Unicode groups like "\p{Han}", you need to
change the sregex engine directly. Third party libraries like libiconv
will not really be helpful here.
If you just want to convert the response body data stream from one
char encoding to another, then you can just use the ngx_iconv module:
