Find letters, numbers and special characters from a column in sql server

Suppose we have a table in that a column having mix dates (I mean it has letters, number and special character s). We need find out.
Suppose having the below data
DECLARE @table table (id int identity(1,1),
value nvarchar(100))
INSERT INTO @table
VALUES ('B65bfNM#*amF5*t'), ('4GZ_3h^2STJTZVG')
, ('4%bKU&hxgj7!3!t'), ('uX=g3PE+w&uVV!h')

With the help of below sql script we will get it
DECLARE @table table (id int identity(1,1), value nvarchar(100))
INSERT INTO @table
VALUES ('B65bfNM#*amF5*t'), ('4GZ_3h^2STJTZVG')
, ('4%bKU&hxgj7!3!t'), ('uX=g3PE+w&uVV!h')


SELECT ID,value,
    (SELECT
        SUBSTRING(value, number, 1)
    FROM master..spt_values
    WHERE SUBSTRING(value, number, 1) LIKE '[A-Z]' AND type = 'P'
    FOR xml PATH ('')) as [Letters],
                (SELECT
        SUBSTRING(value, number, 1)
    FROM master..spt_values
    WHERE SUBSTRING(value, number, 1) LIKE '[0-9]' AND type = 'P'
    FOR xml PATH ('')) as [Numbers],
                (SELECT
        SUBSTRING(value, number, 1)
    FROM master..spt_values
    WHERE SUBSTRING(value, number, 1) LIKE '[^0-9]'
    AND SUBSTRING(value, number, 1) LIKE '[^A-Z]' AND type = 'P'
    FOR xml PATH ('')) as [special characters]
FROM @table

See the output
