Could you give some examples of what you want to match and what you don't? – Toto Feb 18 '12 at 11:02

e.g, I want match words like "España", "olé"...etc. – hyperrjas Feb 18 '12 at 11:05

I don't know if Ruby understand that, but you should use unicode properties like:
/^[\p{L}\s\p{N}._@?¿!¡€-]+$/
where
\p{L} : any unicode letter
\p{N} : any unicode number
