What do you think is "special character"? There is no such thing. How come you have this? Why?

u can use split fuction which will return same result as .net string().split()

SQL

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Split](@String varchar(max), @Delimiter char(1))
returns @temptable TABLE (items varchar(max))
as
begin
    declare @idx int
    declare @slice varchar(max)

    select @idx = 1
        if len(@String)<1 or @String is null  return

    while @idx!= 0
    begin
        set @idx = charindex(@Delimiter,@String)
        if @idx!=0
            set @slice = left(@String,@idx - 1)
        else
            set @slice = @String

        if(len(@slice)>0)
            insert into @temptable(Items) values(@slice)

        set @String = right(@String,len(@String) - @idx)
        if len(@String) = 0 break
    end
return
end

this function return a table

u call it as
select * from databaseName.dbo.split(12,USA|10,Canada|','|')

and again split by ',' as follows. for your desiring result.
