Test if string contains only letters (a-z + é ü ö ê å ø etc..)

Question

I want to match a string to make sure it contains only letters.

I\'ve got this and it works just fine:

var onlyLetters = /^[a-zA-Z]*$/.test(myString)

I don't know anything about Javascript, but if it has proper unicode support, convert your string to a decomposed form, then remove the diacritics from it ([\u0300-\u036f\u1dc0-\u1dff]). Then your letters will only be ASCII ones.
