SQL Server data Field

Hi,

WHen I update with (Example - Ln¯é¹nëiUn-nv™j;JˆsB‰†)  the update runs fine but when I do a select on the field in SQL Server I just see ???????????????????????

Some help?

It may depend on the collation.  Are you using a japanese collation for that field?
Thats odd..this works fine for me:

create table #temp(fld nvarchar(100))
insert into #temp
select 'Ln¯é¹nëiUn-nv™j;JˆsB'

select * from #temp

does it for you?

It may not...but I would think it would be fine if it is being stored in a NVARCHAR field.
YAY!!!  YIPPEE!!  RIGHT ON!!!!   Uh....thanks.  Great solution.  I don't care what I have to type as long as the data gets in there.
