Description
The Entity Ruler doesn't recognize a literal value as regex. The sample value is an italian fiscal code. Changing the last letter from K to another one, e.g., V, will render it recognizable as an entity. The expected behavior should be to recognize also the sample value as is.
## How to reproduce the behaviour
```
patterns = [
{
"label": "CF",
"pattern": [
{
"TEXT": {
"REGEX": "BRRDTR65D02H224K",
}
}
],
},
]
nlp = spacy.blank("en")
ruler = nlp.add_pipe("entity_ruler", name="ner_rules")
ruler.add_patterns(patterns)
text = "BRRDTR65D02H224K"
doc = nlp(text)
doc.ents # it's empty, it should give BRRDTR65D02H224K
```
