Make sure that your SQL column is set to NVARCHAR not VARCHAR - the latter is ASCII not Unicode. Your values will store fine then.

However, they may still display as question marks or "empty rectangles" depending ion the software you use to retrieve it, and the font that it uses to display the data.
