Hi Diya

You need to Use nvarchar data type in database Column where you are Storing Symbol + Text Data..for displaying them..

I included Sample Project ..Just Take a Look :)

Happy Coding :)

You will need to provide more information to get help.

I am not an expert with SQL Server, but the problem is likely the codepage, or something such as that. SQL Server is probably not set up for Unicode for the database or table or the field. If Unicode is not used then we must use a codepage that supports the characters we need. If Unicode is used then codepages do not apply.
