I'm using https://github.com/akzhan/jwysiwyg/ and i want to implement pasting from Word, but I'm not sure what to look for and how to handle it. Im more looking for a regex pattern or a list of characters to catch and what to replace them with.
Ideas?

Press Ctrl+C. Note: Make sure the pointer is on the border of the text box, not inside it. If the pointer is inside, pressing Ctrl+C will copy the text, not the text box. Select a location and press Ctrl+V to paste the text box.
Switch to your Microsoft Word document, highlight the text you want to copy, and choose Edit > Copy from the menu bar.
Go to Insert > Text Box. Click in your file where you'd like to insert the text box, hold your mouse button down, then drag to draw the text box the size that you want. After you've drawn the text box click inside it to add text.
Select the text with the formatting you want to copy. Select characters only (such as a word or words) if you want to copy character formatting. Select an entire paragraph if you want to copy character and paragraph formatting. Press Ctrl + Shift + C.
I ended up using this:
// Replaces commonly-used Windows 1252 encoded chars that do not exist in ASCII or ISO-8859-1 with ISO-8859-1 cognates.
var replaceWordChars = function(text) {
var s = text;
// smart single quotes and apostrophe
s = s.replace(/[\u2018|\u2019|\u201A]/g, "\'");
// smart double quotes
s = s.replace(/[\u201C|\u201D|\u201E]/g, "\"");
// ellipsis
s = s.replace(/\u2026/g, "...");
// dashes
s = s.replace(/[\u2013|\u2014]/g, "-");
// circumflex
s = s.replace(/\u02C6/g, "^");
// open angle bracket
s = s.replace(/\u2039/g, "<");
// close angle bracket
s = s.replace(/\u203A/g, ">");
// spaces
s = s.replace(/[\u02DC|\u00A0]/g, " ");
return s;
}
//Use like:
var newText = replaceWordChars(textToCheck);
