Hello,

I have a column in a table that contains Hebrew text. I need to do a query
with a LIKE clause on the Hebrew text. The query works if I execute the SQL
directly, either in a SQL window of phpMyAdmin or in a command line mysql
client. But I cannot get it to work within Django.

I tried Bible.objects.filter(hebrew_text__contains('דֶּשֶׁא') and I get
nothing back.

I tried a raw query in a custom manager:

class BibleManager(models.Manager):
    def contains_hebrew_word(self, word='דֶּשֶׁא'):
        sql = """select sortkey, book, chapter, verse, hebrew_text
                 from bible_bible
                 where hebrew_text like '%%%s%%' """
        raw_query_set = self.raw(sql, [word])
        result_list = []
        for b in raw_query_set:
            result_list.append(b)
        return result_list

but I get this error:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: (1064, "You have an error in your SQL
syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for
the right syntax to use near 'דֶּשֶׁא'%'' at line 3")


I am using

   - Django 1.9
   - Python 3
   - mysqlclient 1.3.7
   - MySQL 5.5.49

Any ideas?
