@Vun-HughVaw In theory it should work, using a pattern like [a-z] (square brackets = any of these; hyphen inside square brackets = include everything within this range). Do some searches for things like 'regex katakana', 'regex hiragana', 'regex japanese', finds some examples like this sample which suggests blocks like [ぁ-ん] or [ぁ-ゔゞ゛゜ー]. I don't know if they work in InDesign however (they should do, unless Adobe messed up their version of regex, which is entirely possible).

If you want the rule to apply to all text everywhere, apply the rule to the default basic paragraph style. It's a good idea to use a really clear obvious character style when testing a grep rule - with preview ticked, it's easy to tweak until it's right | |
