**Describe the bug** using JDBC driver on Mariadb, creates empty tables and references a column 'u' that is not in the query. it just creates an empty table in mariadb and gives a java.sql.SQLException (cfr screenshot below) It looks like Drill's JDBC writer needs to gain support for Unicode escape sequences in its input data. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: - inject a 'tab' character (or any other unicode character) are present in the content cfr query in screenshot **Expected behavior** when there are unicode characters in varchar columns written to a table via a JDBC connection, it should create the table and populate that table by supporting unicode data loading into the sql database table **Error detail, log output or screenshots**  **Drill version** using drill : apache-drill-1.21.1 **Additional context** https://apache-drill.slack.com/archives/CG380K519/p1719081685217149 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
