Asian characters when moving from Varchar to Nvarchar

  • Hi, I have a table which has some columns in Varchar format. When I transfer the data from the table (using sql migration wizard) to another table which has the same columns in Nvarchar... the data in the columns turns into something like this - '敎⁷潙歲䤠汳'. Now when I try changing those nvarchar columns back into varchar again...I get question marks in some of the fields.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this and make the data in the Nvarchar table to display latin characters?

  • Maybe the package is using an incorrect code page for your varchar column.

    This is weird as it's changing the values completely.
