### Querying documents properties with special characters in Cosmos DB
I was working with Cosmos DB yesterday and hit the following snag that I couldn't query my document that had special characters in it. Such is an example:
<img :src="$withBase('/files/querycosmos1.png')">
Notice the `"$type": "mytype",` has a `$` in it.
If you head over to **Query Explorer** and try to query it using...
```
SELECT *
FROM testing t
WHERE t.$type = 'mytype'
```
... then you'll see the following error:
<img :src="$withBase('/files/querycosmos2.png')">
I was able to fix this by wrapping the property inside `[]` such as...
```
SELECT *
FROM testing t
WHERE t["$type"] = 'mytype'
```
Now my query returned properly
