Hi,
you can use the edit validate rule, there is a rule named "isspecialcharacter", check whether it helps.

Hi,
you can use the below code on text input (select the text input fisrt using a appropiate selector)
$("input").keypress(function(e){
var charCode = !e.charCode ? e.which : e.charCode;
if( /*test for the special character */)
e.preventDefault();
})
say if i want to block Hypen '-', then i will use the ascii code for it ie. if(charCode == 45 ),So it willnot allow me to type the hypen in textinput.

Thanks for your comments, I found solution by using regular expression at Flow action's validation rule
@pxContainsViaRegex(Replace_your_Property_Here,"[^A-Za-z0-9-']",true)
