What precisely does "rejected" mean? What error do you get?

This is a perfectly valid string literal that SQLite doesn't have any problems 
with: 'a''b/c-d'

Having said that, it's better to use parameterized queries instead, then you 
won't need to worry about quotes. See http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/bind_blob.html
