Using symbols in the html title of a webpage

If you a symbol in the title of a webpage will this dilute the keywords in the title
thus making it rank worse in search engines

here is an example
<html>
<head>
<title>
Black Shoe Polish
</title>
</head>

versus

<html>
<head>
<title>
▶ Black Shoe Polish
</title>
</head>

will the extra symbols count as words and thus the dilute the effectiveness of the Black Shoe Polish keyword. sort of making like 4 words instead 3.

Who would search Google looking for a symbol + shoe polish?

I doubt anyone...
