@cb372, your list comes close to covering all the kana, but a few characters are still missing. You got 「ゞ」 but missed 「ゝ」 and 「ゟ」, and a few others. I believe this would cover all Hiragana and Katakana separately:
Hiragana = [ぁ-ゖ゛-ゟー]
Katakana = [゠-ヿ]
Combined Hiragana & Katakana would be:
Hiragana+Katakana = [ぁ-ゖ゛-ゟ゠-ヿ]
I used the above hiragana+katakana regex to validate the kana portions of the downloadable version of JMDICT and can confirm that apart from a few errors in the JMDICT data, the kana validation works.
