How about to use dynamic binding? For example, is your SQL(SELECT * from dbname where colname like '%אב%'), use '?' instead of 'אב'. In my guess, 'אב' can have same ASCII code of wildcard(%).
Full SQL can be as like as follows. SELECT * from dbname where colname like '%?%' To do this, you need to use sqlite3_bind*** functions in c API.
