regular expression problem

I want to select a text between square brackets. As it may contain
accents and punctuation I try to use the negation:

"\[([^\]])\]"

However, this does not work and the problem is with the closing square
bracket ("]").

My questions are:
- Is "\]" some reserved sequence with a special meaning.
- if so, how can I work around that and still get functionality I want

.
