Repro steps

Activate "Show Password Details"
Enter the special character §, €,\ or µ. There are probably a lot more that don't work, but those are the ones I tested.
Observe how "At least one special character" is still showing as unfulfilled.

Desired functionality

Recognize more special characters.

Mention any other details that might be useful

German Umlauts(äöüßÄÖÜẞ) are also not recognized as special character or lower- or uppercase letters.
The regular expression token \W matches all non-word characters and could be used to check for this.

@Bbansjkl I've just rleased v3.7.0 which supports custom regex validation e.g:

<mat-slide-toggle #toggle>Show Password Details</mat-slide-toggle>
      
 <mat-form-field appearance="outline" style="width: 100%" [color]="passwordComponent.color">
  <mat-label>Password</mat-label>
  <mat-pass-toggle-visibility #toggleVisbility matSuffix></mat-pass-toggle-visibility>
  <input matInput #password
         [type]="toggleVisbility.type"
         placeholder="Password">
  <mat-hint align="end" aria-live="polite">
    {{password.value.length}} / {{passwordComponent.max}}
  </mat-hint>
</mat-form-field>
 
        
<mat-password-strength #passwordComponent
  (onStrengthChanged)="onStrengthChanged($event)"
  [password]="password.value"
  [customValidator]="pattern">
</mat-password-strength>

<mat-password-strength-info
  *ngIf="toggle.checked"
  [passwordComponent]="passwordComponent6"
  customCharsCriteriaMsg="1 german special chars is required"
  [enableScoreInfo]="true">
</mat-password-strength-info>

pattern = new RegExp(/^(?=.*?[äöüÄÖÜß])/);

cheers 🍻

@AnthonyNahas is there a way to add for example the "German Umlauts"-Chars to existing validators like the Upper- / Lower-Case-Validator? I think for a german user it is a little confusing that "öäüÖÄÜ" is not a valid "letter" for the upper-/lower-case validation.
Maybe it can be solved with a adjustable encoding?

@pflzr Can you provide a PR for that ?
