    Hi Rajesh,

    Unless you are using nchar/nvarchar fields for your data, SQL Server is
    using a specific code page (non-Unicode character set) to store your
    data. It is likely that this is Cp1252 (Western European).

    If you switch to nchar/nvarchar fields your mapping issues will go away.
    I have a paper that describes some of these issues on the webMethods
    website (it's "Creating Multi-lingual and Multi-locale Databases") here:

    Best Regards,

    Addison
