Regex - Range out of order in character class

Question

I'm trying to do a regex that allows all upper&lower case letters, digits and special characters:

% ' ` ( ) -& . / @ * , ! © ® ™

My regex:

/^[A-Za-z0-9%'`()-&./@*,!©®™\s]*$/

However, it returns invalid regex. Please help.

Escape the literal hyphen or put it at the start/end of the character class as `)-&` is an [invalid range](https://regex101.com/r/xvD2Vj/1). — Wiktor Stribiżew, Apr 11 '19 at 10:43

You just need to escape the dash and the slash

^[A-Za-z0-9%'`()\-&.\/@*,!©®™\s]*$

You can test your regex here

I don't think the slash needs escaping. – James Whiteley Apr 11 '19 at 10:57
@JamesWhiteley when not escaped it is interpreted as a character range connector. – PJProudhon Apr 11 '19 at 11:43
