How to escape special characters in ansible jinja2 file

I would like to use Ansible to template a BASH file. But I have one line in my BASH to print array length:

if [ ${#my_array[@]} -gt 0 ]; then

Seems like Ansible has trouble handling this line, always returns an error:

ansible error template error while templating string missing end of comment tag

If I delete this line then the playbook can template the BASH successfully. How do I escape special characters in ansible jinja2 file? I am very new to Ansible, any help is appreciated!

I think I can use {% raw %}

{% raw %}
if [ ${#my_array[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
{% endraw %}

I am not sure if this is the best solution but at least it worked
