[9fans] Lex, Yacc, Unicode Plane 1

Hello,
 
A colleague put me on to Plan9, some of whose online documentation I
have read with interest, in particular the "Hello World" discussion as
it relates to Unicode/UTF-8.
 
I'm one of the authors of the Cuneiform proposal now encoded under
Unicode (see block U+12000), and I'm interesting in lex/yacc-like
parsing of Unicode input to produce (among other things) Cuneiform
output.
 
I realize some of the documentation was written long ago... so I'm
unclear as to whether or not (or how easily) Plan9 (and specifically its
lex/yacc software, etc.) handles such things? (this sparked by the
references to four hex digits etc.)
 
Many thanks if you can point me in the right direction :) (or to an
alternative solution, if need be!)
 
Best
 
K
