How can I extract a rar file with a password that contains special characters like ', ", `, /, \, ^, (space), !, ?, {, }, [, ], $, &, %, *, ~, :, ,, <, >, etc.
Here is an example of PASSWORD :
iuPx?tqCN'b.?LZ$=EL59L3?L/fPYii)caC'u8gYGPRy2mKCqwhzAa'RmKH} &Sf.4V>Q@z+K[XXux6$;iCixxcY/J$c,G6Xb#\SAf',KrM Z{CZ&_z^_5)W3xgGV{wU[v~sWf!]ciLLXvKm^>DC<}~]uypo}oAE{*hbYied',u5YKHS( RNoNiRvCHR{{QniDE[_AWw2{79s%SrdQE& &74(T^LjBk#\Q9ZT@48'-bE(q;pwYXw<g"dHv&DfBf2nrj;;UwrB};J,U%yg64P<$w@8[HXxhY~_o-2y;wv)in;I have already tried with these commands:
unrar x -pPASSWORD FILE.rar
unrar x -p"PASSWORD" FILE.rar
7z x FILE.rar -pPASSWORD
7z x FILE.rar -p"PASSWORD"but there's nothing to do.
I also tried it with File Roller and it give me this error:
An error occurred while loading the archive.
Also PeaZip give me an error:
' quote character cannot be used by PeaZip GUI in passwords under current system
How can I extract this rar file?

What matters is how you pass your password to the unrar program in terminal. For special characters you should use \ (the escape character) before them.
For example, if your password is a" \?
what you should type is a\"\ \\\?
