Each of the characters you identified are characters that have meaning to the query parser, '+' is a mandatory clause, '-' is a NOT operator and * is a wildcard. To get through the query parser, these (and a bunch of others, see below) must be escaped.
Personally, though, I'd pre-scrub the data. Depending on your analysis chain such things may be thrown away anyway. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/The+Standard+Query+Parser - the "escaping special characters" bit.
