title: Save Accented Characters in SQL Server
body: <p>We accept the accented characters such as <code>Ḿấxiḿứś</code> from a html form, when using hibernate saves it into the database the string becomes <code>??xi???</code></p>
  
  <p>Then I did a SQL update, trying to write the accented words directly into the database, the same result happened.</p>
  
  <p>The desired behavior is to set into the dabase as what it is.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried to google it, someone said I need to change the database collation to <code>SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI</code>. But I can't find this options from the dropdown.</p>
