When I store my iso-8859-1 data to my MS SQL db,
I can query it and it shows up as expected. When
I go to read it with another software component,
the components read '?' instead of 'ç'.
I can't figure out why. The software component
that reads from the database is a Java application
with a default locale of en_US and charset Cp1252.
