I'm trying to update some records with Romanian text that have characters like 'ă, ț, î'

They are working fine if I copy the text manually using 'Edit rows' option on sql management studio but when I write an update statement **ă** gets interpreted as **a** and **ț** gets interpreted as **?** 

However, **î** is interpreted correctly.

I've set the column data type as nvarchar(255) and the current collation is set to database default. I've tried Romanian as well but still no luck.

Below is an example query. 

```
update dbo.tbl_romanian_test 
set title = 'ă ț î'
where Id = 1

```

Eventually I want this to be done from the app using Entity Framework. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks
