: Can brackets in page titles make it a completely different title to a crawler? On my site, I feel to increase rankings, I'm going to include categories including one that 80+% visitors seems

On my site, I feel to increase rankings, I'm going to include categories including one that 80+% visitors seems to want. As a result, I will need to include that category in the important HTML tags.

For example, on an image page representing bloke party venue (which is a local nightclub), my title tag is currently something like this:

Bloke picture n - saturday may 28, 2016


To allow me some flexibility, I feel that I need to trim the names of some party venue names to allow more space for a better title. For example, I feel changing "Luxy entertainment complex" to "Luxy" might be a wise solution but I hope the venue owners wont freak. lol.

Anyways, my question is, if I include the category name in the title in brackets, would the brackets make the name completely different, or will they be ignored?

Here's my before titles for some images:

Bloke picture n - saturday september 28, 2016
Oko Blu picture n - saturday september 28, 2016
Luxy Entertainment Complex picture n - saturday september 28, 2016


Here's my proposed titles for some images (what I intend to change them to):

Bloke (nightclub) picture n - saturday september 28, 2016
Oko Blu (lounge) picture n - saturday september 28, 2016
Luxy (nightclub) picture n - saturday september 28, 2016


Yes, I spelled Blue wrong but that is deliberate because it is part of the name.

Based on my first example, If I made the above changes to my titles, would google think I'm trying to rank for "(nightclub)" or "nightclub" in one title?

If the answer is "(nightclub)", then could I use different characters in place of the parentheses that makes the word inside it stand out as a category which Google wouldn't include with the word when I'm trying to rank for the word?

P.S. My titles might be oddish but I'm trying to keep within the 65-character limit while making it informative.
