Javascript developers can test regular expressions against all unicode characters with my Javascript RegExp Unicode Character Class Tester
Very useful if you need to know exactly which characters match a RegExp like /\s/
Interesting results from Firefox 2
- \d matches 159 digit characters from many alphabets (not just Basic Latin)
- \s matches 22 different types of whitespace: [\t\n\v\f\r \u00a0\u2000\u2001\u2002\u2003\u2004\u2005\u2006\u2007\u2008\u2009\u200a\u200b\u2028\u2029\u3000]
Useful docs:
- The RegExp documentation on the Mozilla Developers Center \
- The Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (chars 0 to 65535)
Hope you find this useful and feel free to leave comments.
