isSymbol is not catching some symbols

Question

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.
