I'm looking to compare two varchars in SQL, one would be something like Cafe and the other Café is there a way in SQL that will allow the two values to be compared. For instance:

SELECT *
FROM Venue
WHERE Name Like '%cafe%'

So if there is a venue with the name Big Bobs Café Extraordinaire it would be included in the result set?
