You need a hyphen to spell words like "laissez-faire" and "higgledy-piggledy".

Apostrophe is a "special" character but very common in English words (most possessives, for example).

Plus-sign appears in, for example, "Google+" and "G+" and "+1".

So you need to be judicious in your definition of "special".
