How to set encoding of database in Microsoft Server Managment Studio?

You cannot set UTF8 encoding to SQL Server database.
You can use char/varchar data types to save characters- one character = one byte- but that also means you can save only limited characters (see collations).
You can use nchar/nvarchar data types to save characters- one character = two bytes (its UCS-2. for sorting, searching.. see collations).
Finally in varbinary column you can store UTF8 or whatever you need :).
