I have regex as /^[a-zA-Z ]+$/ now I need to add support for unicode

  • 0

I have regex as /^[a-zA-Z ]+$/ now I need to add support for unicode characters and so am using \p{L} like '/^[a-zA-Z ]+$\p{L}/'.

This is not working for me and I am not sure that this is correct way of using it. I am new to regex and would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks.

    Does this help?

    /^[\p{L} ]+$/u

    This will match any string that consists of spaces and any kind of letter from any language. The u flag, as Johannes pointed out, makes it match against UTF-8.

    Also, I have found this site to be a lot of help for Regular Expressions in general. The link I’ve provided talks about regular expressions and unicode characters.
