A small improvement.
JF Sebastian's regex for UTF-8 is not quite correct. Because code points could otherwise be
coded in more than one way using UTF-8, the Standard stipulates that the shortest possible
representation for a character should be used. So some 'duplicate' combinations his regex
accepts are not valid UTF-8. Additionally, his regex accepts characters beyond the valid Unicode
code space.
The regex should be:
^([\x00-\x7f]|
[\xc2-\xdf][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xe0][\xa0-\xbf][\x80-xbf]|
[\xe1-\xec][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xed][\x80-\x9f][\x80-\xbf]|
[\xee-\xef][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xf0][\x90-\xbf][\x80-\xbf]{2}|
[\xf1-\xf3][\x80-\xbf]{3}|
[\xf4][\x80-\x8f][\x80-\xbf]{2}*$)
