They didn't say "at least one special character". They said "at least one special characters".
Presumably the parentheses in the text are just the bag in which the actual sought-after special characters are held. Which is a WTF, for sure.

Yep, exactly, the parentheses aren't a character you can use, that's not as common as it used to be, but that group of usable characters and the way they're displayed is more or less standard.

Your password has to satisfy three basic requirements. One, it has to have at least two special characters in it, who, two, talk to each other about, three, something besides password rules.
