Allowing non-latin characters with regex

Question

Regular expression to match non-english characters?

I am using this regex to limit some characters. I wanted to change this to allow all latin and non-latin letters but i think regex is not my think : )

String.prototype.isText2 = function () {return /^[\.\-\w\s&']*$/.test(this)}

This regex only allows latin chars and ' and & i think.

How can i make it allow non-latin letters ? (like these ç,ü,ğ,ş and chinese,japanese, arabic)

perhaps something like `\u0000-\u007f` – scibuff Mar 08 '12 at 13:53 — scibuff, Mar 08 '12 at 13:53

You can use XRegExp. This supports Unicode.

You will need to work with unicode values. Please take a look at this previous SO thread for more information.
