I had this problem today:
This regex matches only English: [a-zA-Z0-9].
If I need support for any language in this world, what regex should I write?

Alphabet/Letter: \p{L}
Number: \p{N}
So for alphnum match for all languages, you can use: [\p{L}\p{N}]+
I was looking for a way to replace all non-alphanum chars for all languages with a space in JS and ended up using the following way to do it:
const regexForNonAlphaNum = new RegExp(/[^\p{L}\p{N}]+/ug);
someText.replace(regexForNonAlphaNum, " ");
Here as it is JS, we need to add u at end to make the regex unicode aware and g stands for global as I wanted match all instances and not just a single instance.
References:
The regex below is the only one worked for me:
"\\p{LD}+" ==> LD means any letter or digit.
If you want to clean your text from any non alphanumeric characters you can use the following:
text.replaceAll("\\P{LD}+", "");//Note P is capital.
