Blocking certain languages

[Emily]

Hey @Shady!

I assume you looked at this post?

Block specific languages (with RegExp)

Okay, then for Cyrillic use: /[\u0400-\u04FF]+/ And for Arabic use: /[\u0600-\u06FF]+/ To block further sets of ASCII characters, have a look there: Public Unicode Character Map. And to answer your question, yes, your last \ is likely causing an error, and you don’t need the $ either, also I don’t know what the ~ is doing there. Also the i modifier is to make the comparison case insensitive, so with this parameter you could only have uppercase or lowercase characters instead of the whole set,…

I didn’t get a reply from the person who was asking for it at the time so I didn’t know if it actually worked.

Have you made sure to set every RegExp on a separate line?

If yes and it’s not working, may I suggest replacing the x with a u, so like this:

/[\u0400-\u04FF]+/ 
/[\u0600-\u06FF]+/ 
/[\u0100-\u017F]+/

It may be the mistake I’ve done at the time…
