title: How to insert Russian characters in to sql server table
body: <p>i was trying to insert russian character in to sql table with data type as Nvarchar(max)</p>
  
  <p>when i insert russian value "Македонски" after insertion  the table values become   "??????????" .
  i cannot change my c#code of insertion to N'Македонски' as the code is in production.
  i saw a suggestion in the internet to change sql collation to "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS" for the column to allow russian and english language.but changing the collation to "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1251_CS_AS" is not working.</p>
  
  <p>i tried collation change to "Cyrillic_General_CI_AS" but that too proved failure
  any work around to fix this</p>
