search a foreign character in access database using C#

Question

I have an Access database that contains foreign characters(Hebrew language).

How can I search the values in the column using C#? This is my code:

SELECT * FROM "table name" WHERE column_name LIKE '%שגל%'

I'm getting this error:

Syntax Error in SQL statement

Can anyone please afford your time and help me in this?

שגל- this is the Hebrew language.

Answer 1

I fixed the bug. I changed the column name from _region to property_region.

Why _region makes error, Is it a Keyword
