Regex For International Email Addresses (Javascript)

Question

Right now, I am trying to get international email addresses to validate... right now this regex works like a charm for email addresses:

/^[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$/

However, an international email address like this: amartiñez@yahoo.com will not pass validation. How can I change the above regex to make this pass?

Please [check this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24817336/3832970). Does it solve the issue? — Wiktor Stribiżew, May 29 '15 at 18:43

It is `\u00F1`. [You can add it to your regex like this](https://regex101.com/r/fE1pE0/1). But I think the answer the link to which I provided must be a better solution. — Wiktor Stribiżew, May 29 '15 at 18:48

Include Spanish charset to your Regex

^[_a-zA-ZáéíñóúüÁÉÍÑÓÚÜ0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-ZáéíñóúüÁÉÍÑÓÚÜ0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$

Worked! Thank you so much! – Robo Rick May 29 '15 at 19:04
This is only at most a patch work solution. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_email for examples of what international email can be. – nhahtdh May 30 '15 at 03:13
