Hi, I guess you use JDBC to access the database, right? First you need a database instance that supports unicode. The database parameter _UNICODE must be true. Unfortunately you can set this parameter only when you create the database. You cannot change this parameter afterwards.
If you use an old version of JDBC you need to set the connect property unicode=yes within your connect URL when your sql statements contains unicode characters. Otherwise unicode characters will be replaced by question marks. You don't need to set this parameter if you use a newer version of MaxDB's JDBC driver (at least 7.6.0 Build 020-000-005-036).
