Yeah, it won't work like this. Not so familar with Unicode and
JavaScript, but it does not seem to be possible to do this.

>From http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html

No Unicode support, except for matching single characters with \uFFFF

Does not really seem to be a good way around this, except for server
side validation, where the \w expression should be locale dependent.

Looks like there have been some requests for this in JQuery,
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/unicode-regex-support, but no clear
information on whether it is available (does not look like it).

This does look promising however..

Perhaps server side validation is the best way to try to go in this
case?

Regards,
Jason
