TSQL md5 hash different to C# .NET md5

Question

I\'ve generated an md5 hash as below:

DECLARE @varchar varchar(400) 

SET @varchar = \'è\'

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(2000), HASHBYTES( \'MD5\', @varchar ), 2)
         


        

Answer 1

sql server hashbytes allways works like System.Text.Encoding.Unicode on unicode characters like arabic persian ,... if you use Utf8.Unicode Or Ascii.Unicode You will see the diffrence and if you use Utf8.Unicode the return result of sql server and c# will be same
