@logloganathan, based on the sample Data provided can you try the following:

 <yourBaseSearch>
 | rex field=_raw "(?<special_character>[^\w|\s]+)"

Following is the link to regex to test with your sample data: https://regex101.com/r/9K4Ugs/1

@logloganathan, please add a sample event and provide the details of which field you want to extract. As you might already know that regular expressions are very much pattern based and without sample/mocked up data it would be tough to assist. You should anonymize (so that pattern for regular expression remains the same) any sensitive data before posting the same.

You can always use tools like regex101.com to add sample data and test your own regular expressions.
