Wow I completely don't know what "yiyle" means, and I'm usually pretty good at guessing.Pointy– Pointy2011-03-24 14:16:29 +00:00Commented Mar 24, 2011 at 14:16

It's kind of difficult to understand what you want that regex to do. Maybe you could clarify your question a little bit?Olli– Olli2011-03-24 14:20:03 +00:00Commented Mar 24, 2011 at 14:20

You can use escape sequences of the form
\uXXXX
where each "X" can be any hex digit. Thus:
\u0020
is the same as a plain space character, and
\u0041
is upper-case "A". Thus you can encode the Unicode values for the characters you're interested in and then include them in a regex character class. To make sure the string is at least five characters long, you can use a quantifier in the regex.
You'll end up with something like:
var regex = /^[A-Za-z\u00nn\u00nn\u00nn]{5,}$/;
where those "00nn" things would be the appropriate values. As to exactly what those values are, you should be able to find them on a reference site like this one or maybe this one. For example I think that "Ö" is \u00D6. (Some of your characters are in the Unicode Latin-1 Supplement, while others are in Latin Extended A.)
