By lines I assume you mean rows in the table person. What you're looking for is:
select p.name
from person p
where p.name LIKE '%A%'; --contains the character 'A'
The above is case sensitive. For a case insensitive search, you can do:
select p.name
from person p
where UPPER(p.name) LIKE '%A%'; --contains the character 'A' or 'a'
For the special character, you can do:
select p.name
from person p
where p.name LIKE '%'||chr(8211)||'%'; --contains the character chr(8211)
The LIKE operator matches a pattern. The syntax of this command is described in detail in the Oracle documentation. You will mostly use the % sign as it means match zero or more characters.
