Can somebody provide some best practices when storing special characters such as the trademark (tm or r) or copyright (c)? I am storing them in a varchar field with other text in SQL Server, and displaying on an ASP.NET webpage. Right now we are storing the special character itself and displaying that.
Thanks for any help!
Just use the HTML entities, such as
™and©if you can.There’s no need to switch to nvarchar unless you have an explicit requirement to support Unicode.
