The thing is, nobody knows if you write a special character or not. They might try to brute force passwords without first. But the way more important factor is length.

Just 5 random words and you are fine

When I wasnt using a password manager for password creation I just did random sentences that were not allowed to have meaning. They were quite easy to memorize because they were so absurd. Usual password check would be 3 trillion trillion years or something.

I have a LUKS pw like that. I just add some words over time, when the beginning is muscle memory
