Sub all the specified regex interval except some characters

Question

For example, I want to replace all the data going from the specified intervals with * (except the chars u0650, u0660, u064F), for example.

Note: I don't want to break the interval because I have a lot of characters to preserve.

data = re.sub(r'[\u0600-\u061E\u0620-\u065F\u0670-\u06ef]', "*", data)

Side note: `\u660` is not included in your character class so it doesn't really need to be excluded. — 41686d6564 stands w. Palestine, Aug 17 '20 at 00:35

You can put the characters to be excluded in a negative Lookahead before the main character class.

For example:

(?![\u0650\u0660\u064F])[\u0600-\u061E\u0620-\u065F\u0670-\u06ef]

Demo.
