Might be a minimum of 16 chars. Or the parsing is broken and treats the ’ as the end of the password

Yeah, I’d consider anything less than 20 characters broken. Much too likely that it’s contained in a rainbow table, regardless how many special characters you use. Can I remember many 20 character passwords? No, but my password manager can.

That’s a big rainbow table. Like, way too big to exist assuming you mean random ascii characters (on the order of 10^42^ entries).

Base85 contains just about every printable ASCII character, so I’ll use that as a base. 85^16^ ~= 10^31^ -> extremely huge, but still feasible at least for state actors. 85^20^ ~= 10^39^ -> if I read Wolfram Alpha’s comparison correctly, that is more information than is believed to be contained in the DNA of a living creatures combined. That’s why I’d recommend >= 20 characters.

I let my password manager create 32 char passwords, that should be enough for a while. But of course then you have websites that throw you a ‘your password is too long’ message and have you find out by trial and error that they only accept 12 characters.
Or the off-by-one errors where the insist that 24 chars are the max, but in reality they accept 23. Probably never tested the limit.
Or websites that truncate your password after X characters when registering, but not when logging in, so you end up with an incorrect password and good luck finding out which limit the registration page actually uses.
