אנג'לה
Explanation:
I assume that you want to know how to write the name Angela in Hebrew characters. In Hebrew, the name Angela is spelled alef-lamed-gimel-lamed-heh, and is written from right to left. The thing that looks like an apostrophe after (i.e. to the left of) the letter gimel makes the letter sound like a soft g, as in Angela, rather than a hard g, as in good. This is done because the soft g sound doesn't exist in Hebrew.

Oooops - As Ashi has pointed out, the correct letters are alef-nun-gimel-lamed-heh - I accidentally left out the letter nun. However, the Hebrew characters are correct - אנג\'לה.

  -> Thanks Erez or Efrat or whoever you are :-)

disagree  ashi: alef-nun-gimel-lamed-heh and not as you wrote

  -> Yeah, well, that's what I wrote in Hebrew, for crying out loud. Please see note above. And please do not confuse the asker by disagreeing with an answer that was perfectly correct, i.e. אנג'לה, just because the explanation contained a typo.

agree  John Kinory (X): With the answer and with your comments to ashi. However, you are a very bad girl for writing alef-lamed-gimel-lamed-heh instead of alef-nun-gimel-lamed-heh, and there'll be no milk or cookies (biscuits in AE?) for you tonight, you can be sure of that!!!!!
