Apple Watch SE: how to input special characters?

My Apple Watch SE keeps asking me to input my Apple ID password, but it contains a special character and I cannot figure out how to input it. I have tried everything I can think of. Keyboard input is not available on Apple Watch SE.

When the prompt appears on your Apple Watch, a notification should appear on your iPhone that allows you to enter your Apple ID password directly. Look for the prompt on your iPhone screen and type your password there

This problem started early last week. In the interim, I had to have my phone repaired which required erasing all the data. So I had to restore the phone and sign in to my Apple Account again as well. The notifications have returned yet still do not appear on my iPhone. I guess my next step is to unpair my watch and start over.
