Unfortunately you cannot embed arbitrary Python string constants
(u"...") in regular expressions.  What does work is something like:

>>> vowel = u'[\u093e\u093f\u0940\u0941\u0942\u0943\u0944\u0945\u0946\u0947\u0948\u0949\u094a\u094b\u094c]'
>>> re.findall(vowel, u"\u092f\u093e\u0902\u091a\u094d\u092f\u093e")
[u'\u093e', u'\u093e']
