Regexp - Allow chinese word or N/A ONLY

Question

/^[\u0391-\uFFE5\.\-\,\(\)]*$/

Sorry, new to regex. Had done this to allow only Chinese character.

Then after i Changed

/^[\u0391-\uFFE5\.\-\,\(\)(N/A)]*$/

Then it allows all Chinese character + A,NA, AN, N/A, A/N tried to change (N/A), (N/A),(N(/)A) yet all return the same result...

how if i wan only chinese character and exactly "N/A" only??

You need to use a capturing or non-capturing group.

/^(?:[\u0391-\uFFE5.,()-]|N\/A)*$/
