So you want to match only strings that contain U&'\+003436' *not* followed by a variation selector (as we also discussed at [1]). I'm pretty sure that everything in PostgreSQL considers variation selectors to be separate characters. Perhaps it is possible to write a regular expression covering the variation selector ranges, something like '\U00003436[^\U000E0100-\U000E010EF]'? Here's an example using Latin characters that are easier for me, but show approximately the same thing, since variation selectors are a bit like "combining" characters: postgres=# create table t (x text); CREATE TABLE postgres=# insert into t values ('e'), ('ef'), ('e' || U&'\0301'); INSERT 0 3 postgres=# select * from t; x ---- e ef é (3 rows) postgres=# select * from t where x ~ 'e([^\u0300-\u036f]|$)'; x ---- e ef (2 rows) [1] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/013f01d873bb%24ff5f64b0%24fe1e2e10%24%40ndensan.co.jp
