RegEx for Unicode strings to check the string does not contain specific characters

Basically, I need to check that a utf-16 string does not contain these characters /:*?<>|+. Apart from them, it can contain any character from English to Latin.

For normal ASCII strings, we would write a RegEx something like ^[^\/:?<>|+]$ How does this expression change for UTF-16 formatted strings?

Can we represent this expression using ascii characters in the RegEx? Or should we have there equivalent unicode code points for matching any characters?

As all of your special character that you don't want to allow are normal ASCII characters, use regex pattern

/^[^\/:*?<>|+]*$/
