How to convert PHP Regex to jQuery Regex

Question

I have this PHP regex:

/^[\p{L}\p{M}]+[\p{L}\p{M}\-\s]*$/u

and I want to convert it to jQuery. I tried multiple solutions that I found online, but nothing really worked. I tried using

new RegExp("/^[\p{L}\p{M}]+[\p{L}\p{M}\-\s]*$/u");

but that didn't help.

I'm not familiar with PHP Regex syntax, but it shouldn't be hard to translate if you use https://regexr.com/ — Rory McCrossan, Nov 01 '18 at 13:36

This is because \p{L} and \p{M} don't exist in the JavaScript RegEx engine. This answer provides solutions for matching Unicode categories: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26659285/1920035
