  Have you tried adding that collation to the table column?   Without it, the data may be getting mashed by the collation.

  The client software you use may not support the language. Also it may appear that the font for that language is not installed.

  What would I recommend is to install localized Chinese version of the Management Studio - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=873126&clcid=0x804 on a localized Chinese operating system - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise and try if that does work.

  You need to set the value of variable @titleEntryAggregateXML as unicode using the N'' notation. You can check the value of the variable if you execute a "SELECT @titleEntryAggregateXML" immediately after the SET statement. Without the N'' notation this value displays already the questionmarks.

  set @titleEntryAggregateXML=N'<MetadataTitleAggregateDTO>
<Details>
<MetadataTitleElementDTO element_value="エミー賞をå—賞" />
</Details>
</MetadataTitleAggregateDTO>'
