isSymbol is not catching some symbols

code_zap

i'm trying to use the isSymbol method to figure out if a user is using symbols in the chosen password. But when i parse the password and even though symbols such as # and $ are being used, the isSymbol does not catch it. It catches symbols + and =. I'm not sure what i'm doing. Is it something to do with pressing the shift key while entering the symbol? Help is appreciated. Thanks.

You're right, It's working for the $. I guess thats because it's in the CurrencySymbol category and # does not fall in any of the MathSymbol, CurrencySymbol, ModifierSymbol or OtherSymbol categories right? Thanks.

isSymbol won't return true for #, but it should for $. If you are not getting true for $, you might post a snippet of the code handling this, and see what can be found out.
