Can I use Character Encoding for Regular Expressions...?
e.g.
this.html().replace(/<\/?[^>]+>/gi, '')
Instead of:
this.html().replace(/<\/?[^>]+>/gi, '')

A:
Define "use" ..
Inside a regex literal, < will never translated or considered the same as <. That doesn't mean you can't use it in your expression, it just means you'll be matching < rather than <
var x = "<html>";
x.match('<[^>]+>'); // => <html>
x.match('<[^>]+>'); // => null
