I have a script that counts the characters in each of my comments, **excluding** any Html Tags.

But it doesn't take into account that my comments contain **åäöÅÄÖ** (swedish letters).
So how do I edit this to "exclude" these from the **regexp** variable?
(If the comment is *"Hej då!"* the result is 6, not 7.)

Why I need this is a long story, the problem here is in the expression, not that I could use CSS and set a max-height and overflow. :)

```
// check if comments are too long
$("ol li p").each(function() {
 var regexp = /<("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^'">])*>/gi;
 var count = $(this).html().replace(regexp,"").length;
 if ( count >= 620 ) {
  $(this).parent().addClass("too-big-overflow");
 };
});

```
