I don't understand why the regex \p{{IsCJKUnifiedIdeographs}} contains a double '{}' structure. Why doesn't \p{IsCJKUnifiedIdeographs} work?

Because the value of the regex= attribute is an attribute value template.


In an attribute value template, the single brace is a signal to perform a "value-of" instruction with the contents as the value of the select= expression.

Since you need actual brace brackets in the attribute, you need to double them up in order to escape the attribute value template parsing.

This happens a lot when writing XSLT stylesheets that create Ant scripts (a very useful design pattern).

I hope this helps.
