Yup, it seems to me that the collation is the problem.
This is tricky on a SQL 2000 database as you might have to alter the collation on Master and Tempdb as well.
Check the KB article for more information:

Michiel, thanks for the response.
The Database is Unicode, (from the ar.cfg file) Db-Character-Set: UTF-16.
Looks to me like the character set is the issue, we only have SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collated.  Can we add additional character sets at this point?
 
Ö ñ ê ë è are in the Latin1 character set and show up fine.
 
Thanks
Chris

Chris,

You said: Setup is unicode. Are you referring to the DATABASE or to the AR Server? What is the character set for your database? You can view this by right-clicking on the database in SQL Server Enterprise Manager.

Kind regards,

Michiel

This is regardless of the WUT, both Chinese and English.  Also with the user preference set as Chinese.  I notice that with the User Preference set as Chinese, menus like File/View/Tools, etc show as Chinese characters.
 
When using Mid-Tier 补救规则 does not change to ???? until after the ticket is saved.  When using the desktop clients it changes right away.  I have the Chinese .dll's installed on the desktop client.
 
Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?

Chris,
 
Whether your WUT on Windows Chinese machine or English machine?
 
What is the language set for the user in preference server option when you try to enter chinese characters?
 
--Danish

I have an issue when adding Chinese characters in our US based system.  I
can type the Chinese characters in word (well, I can't, but my computer
can), see them in any other application, but when they are copied/pasted or
typed into Remedy, it changes the characters into question marks.  I'm just
attempting to localize the simple requester form, which worked fine for
English and Portuguese.  I've opened a ticket with support, but I'm not
getting too far.  They want me to run a user tool log that I just can't seem
to get to pull the correct errors.

Environment: ARS 6.3 , patch 14 (tried on patch 17 too), running on Windows
2003.  Database is SQL 2000 advanced, and is setup UNICODE.

Anyone have any ideas?  Anyone willing to go to
http://babelfish.altavista.com < http://babelfish.altavista.com> , translate
from English to Chinese and see if they can reproduce this error?
补救规则 (aka, remedy rules)  If you can't read this and you are using
windows os you probably don't have the east Asian language files installed.
There is a KM article that explains the exact problem I am having, but the
example is for Oracle&HP/UX, I'm trying to find out what to look for, for
SQL.

Thanks,
Dazed and confused…
