I currently have this Regex

^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#\$%\^&\*])(?=.{8,})

Which requires 1 Capital, Numeric and Special Character whilst being of 8 length.

However, when using Unicode characters such as [” or ™] I'd like to be able to recognize them without declaring them within the (?=.*[!@#\$%\^&\*]) section. Can someone help me out with the syntax for auto detection of Unicode special characters?

In addition, i wanted to add support for foreign characters using \p{L} instead of a-z however i couldn't figure this out for capitals.

Working Example: Password1!

Try `'~^(?=\P{Ll}*\p{Ll})(?=\P{Lu}*\p{Lu})(?=\D*\d)(?=[^\p{P}\p{S}]*[\p{P}\p{S}]).{8,}~u'` – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 18 '18 at 07:51
