Brute Force Attack Password Discovery With Defined Character Set

I have an encrypted ZIP archive created in June and the contents so private
that I obviously created a unique name I swear I would never forget (or
really need to). And so guess what: I forgot it.
I have been racking my brain on some words that I am sure I would have
used. At least I have a fair idea that I did not use characters like 'z'
or 'q' or 'x' or their uppercase variants.
I want some software that allows me to define a limited set of characters
in a string and for all their permutations to be used in a brute force
attack.
I have been using Ultimate Zip Cracker and at least know that the password
is more than 6 characters long using digits, upper, and lowercase. I know
that the password is probably composed of an English or more like a Turkish
word (Turkish has 6 more characters not in common with English character
set), but dictionary attacks are only in English and will be a waste of
time, I fear. And I may have used digits corresponding to a birth year.
I would like to use a tool in which I define the character set, including
non-ASCII characters like ç or ü or ? and which also might include "words" or
"phrases" (specific character sequences appended to created strings...like
'2007' or '1963' or '1960').
Any recommendations?
