Answer 1

You can use escape sequences of the form

\uXXXX

where each “X” can be any hex digit. Thus:

\u0020

is the same as a plain space character, and

\u0041

is upper-case “A”. Thus you can encode the Unicode values for the characters you’re interested in and then include them in a regex character class. To make sure the string is at least five characters long, you can use a quantifier in the regex.

You’ll end up with something like:

var regex = /^[A-Za-z\u00nn\u00nn\u00nn]{5,}$/;

where those “00nn” things would be the appropriate values. As to exactly what those values are, you should be able to find them on a reference site like this one or maybe this one. For example I think that “Ö” is \u00D6. (Some of your characters are in the Unicode Latin-1 Supplement, while others are in Latin Extended A.)
