SELECT Unicode

  • When I do a

    SELECT Chinese FROM tblChinese

    all I get is boxes, not characters.

    When I open the table regularly all chinese characters of type NVARCHAR are properly displayed.

    What is wrong?

  • Might be different fonts for Query Analyser and Enterprise Manager.

  • Yes, it is the font that used for display in Query Analyzer. To change it do the following:

    In Query analyzer choose Tools, Options and select the Font tab. From there you will need to set each of the Category to a compliant font. Typically I only change the Editor, Results Text and Results Grid. As for the font, I prefer to use Arial Unicode MS. It is a large font but can handle most languages.

    In Enterprise Mgr, not sure because I don't use it much as I prefer Query Analyzer.

    Good luck!
