How to use regex in html5 attribute for Cyrillic letters?

First I've searched for the answer but with no success till now.

I have an form that submits some inputs via POST but before that I want to secure on client side that for the First Name and Last Name are used only Latin or Cyrillic letters.

So far it works only for the Latin letters but I cant get it work with Cyrillic letters. This is what I use now, any help would be appreciated

<input id="userfnamesignup" type="text" pattern="[a-zA-Z]{3-30}" 
       name="user_fname" placeholder="Enter your name please" required />

JavaScript support for unicode is not great, but you should be able to use the Cyrillic unicode character range as part of the regex and it should work.

[a-zA-Z\u0400-\u04ff]{3,30}
