Keep modifying the script, man! Add whatever checks you want.

Or download the 12.x software, it ships with a version of utlpwdmg that includes a check for a special character.

11.2 standard utlpwdmg.sql checks for digits and alphabetics characters using 2 arrays, digitarray and chararray, add your own specarray and check it in the same way.
