password hashing doesn't work for all special characters

Ok, thanks that's a good direction to go.  I checked the debug log and I do see that the listed hash matches the database record.  So now I'm left with figuring out why the password_verify method isn't matching it correctly.  Here's the log, and you can see the match fails:

Code:

DEBUG - 2020-08-04 19:22:45 -->
string    = admin
password  = 1aA!@#%^&*()-_=+{};:,<.>
DEBUG - 2020-08-04 19:22:46 -->

required level or role    = 1
auth level in database    = 9
auth level equivalant role = admin
