Special Character in SQL

Question

I have a problem with a special character inserted in a table of SQL Server 2008 R2. The point is that when i\'m trying to insert a string with the character º (e.g. 3 ELBO

Answer 1

when I run this:

print ascii('º')

I get 186 as the ascii code value, so try:

select * from YourTable Where Description like '%'+char(186)+'%'

to see all the ascii codes run this:

;WITH AllNumbers AS
(
    SELECT 1 AS Number
    UNION ALL
    SELECT Number+1
        FROM AllNumbers
        WHERE Number<255
)
SELECT Number,CHAR(Number) FROM AllNumbers
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 255)

EDIT op stated in a comment that they are using nvarchar columns.

forger about ascii, use NCHAR (Transact-SQL) to output a degree symbol:

print '32'+NCHAR(176)+'F' --to display it

select * from YourTable 
    Where Description like '%'+NCHAR(176)+'%' --to select based on it

and use UNICODE (Transact-SQL) to get the value:

print UNICODE('°')

returns:

176
