You can't. `;` is a citation key separator.

It can’t be escaped?

Your best bet would be adding a semicolon org user entity, if you desperately need it.

Barely anything in Org can be escaped. > Org may use a specific escape character in some situations, i.e., a backslash in macros (see *note Macro Replacement::) and links (see *note Link Format::), or a comma in source and example blocks (see *note Literal Examples::). In the general case, however, we suggest to use the zero width space. You can insert one with any of the following: > > C-x 8 <RET> zero width space <RET> > C-x 8 <RET> 200B <RET> > > For example, in order to write ‘[[1,2]]’ as-is in your document, you may write instead > > [X[1,2]] > > where ‘X’ denotes the zero width space character. https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html#Escape-Character
