Note that even in America, extended ASCII is very common. Just think of all of peoples names that have accents in them. Or the word resumé. Let alone, there is this province in Canada that has French as the standard language.

So if you are designing a new system, use NCHAR and NVARCHAR. Trust me and you'll thank me later.

I'm from Quebec... and varchar is more than enough to cover all our words!!!
