I am using an ng-pattern that with an input field that should accept only Hebrew characters.
I have find out what unicode numbers Hebrew chars are.
This is my pattern:
$scope.onlyHebrewPattern = /[\u05D0-\u05F3]+/g;
And my form input:
<input tabindex=1 type="text" ng-disabled="disableButtons" name="firstname" ng-minlength="2" ng-maxlength="15" ng-model="register.firstName" placeholder="first name" ng-pattern="onlyHebrewPattern" required title="please enter your name">
Now for most inputs that pattern will work and will not populate the $scope.firstname with wrong results like: "abcd".
But there are inputs like: "שדas" that for some reason are being accepted by the pattern.
I believe the problem relies with the pattern definition. Something must be wrong but I am sure that u05D0-u05F3 is really that range that I need in my pattern. So what is my problem here?
