Description

In the section "Character Classes"
On this line in the table

\p{ name } Matches any single character in the Unicode general category or named block specified by name.

Needs a link to the 'Unicode general category's for all valid values that can replace 'name'

That _might_ be this page [Character classes in regular expressions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/character-classes-in-regular-expressions#CategoryOrBlock), but it doesn't include the _IsCyrillic_ mentioned on that line in the table, so some are missing.

The reason I'm looking for this, is on the [stack overflow answer here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/30350504/353147), they reference the _Alnum_ which I can't seem to get to compile. I'd like to have the link(s) to all valid values that can replace _name_ in the above Regex class.
