If I get a hold of a text file and convert it to csv to look for your password, this fucks up the fields.

Many password fields won't allow anything other than numbers and letters

Which systems do not allow special characters that are widely used? My ignorance of such systems is limiting my understanding of your point.

I haven't run into one. SQL, Oracle, AD, all the MFA solutions, all the password safe solutions, all the Linux Distros, all the Unix distros: they allow special characters.

I recall reading about password complexity limitations back in the day, though. Older systems may not permit passwords with special characters like COBOL. But updates to things for COBOL like CICS have permitted special characters in passwords for decades.

I believe Reddit is one example, but I haven't been on there in over a year...I have encountered it several times.

Ahhh, I created a troll account a couple of months ago on reddit and used the "suggested password" generator which includes a shitload of special characters. They probably upgraded their password system at some point.
