Every player should have ^Fx or ^Mx, out of hundreds not a single one didn't have an x, no clue what that x is for though. The few world bosses I checked didn't have it, only ^F or ^M, but can't say if that is a general pattern or not. The boss in the screen on my addon's page also has only ^M though. This needs some investigation  |
Like you said, only players seem to have the 'x', but I wouldn't count on normal mobs not having a gender tag. For example the generic resource guards in Cyrodiil have names like "Covenant Honor Guard^M".
The question is, why do you even need the function you posted?
You can easily get that information without keeping a list.
Lua Code:
isPlayer = (unitName:find("%^.x") ~= nil)
isGrouped = IsPlayerInGroup(zo_strformat("<<1>>", unitName))
