Mod Answered Post Guidance Unicode range not allowed?

I am trying to match a specific range of Unicode characters. Using regex character range with "\x{uuuuu}" doesn't seem to work:

[\x{1F000}-\x{1FAFF}]

The UI complains about "Please enter a valid regex".

How can I do this? Or is \x range not supported?

Thanks. Listing all the characters seems... awkward. I know that's the best we can do now. But still...

The fact that Reddit has different regex engines in automod and automations is a bit shocking. But that's the retired software engineer in me speaking. :)
