I’m trying to see if anyone else has ran into this and if there is a possible solution.
When a user enters a special character (say a copyright symbol) it shows correctly, however after I save the data to viewstate a ? appears.
Has anyone else ran into this and how can I have the data save the symbol.
I know the preferred method is to have them encode, but they’re graphic designers and don’t get it.
Also the editor I’m using (obout) inserts the symbol not encoded, so my hands are tied there as well.
After digging through everything one of the stored procedures was referencing a varchar not nvarchar so that was the issue.
A nvarchar column can store any Unicode data. A varchar column is restricted to an 8-bit codepage.
