you really can't insert "unicode" into non "N" columns in sql server &
get unicode back. i'd guess you're actually inserting data that the
driver or db is interpreting as non-unicode.

you're not, but i think you're wrong about the encoding. the driver/db
is interpreting those smart quotes as part of the windows codepage which
is a superset of latin-1 (iso-8859-1) and not unicode (ucs-2). if you
try something like the following code, you'll see the smart quotes get
inserted & selected ok but that tibetan char (3840) will get garbaged
(will render as a "?"). this happens even if you use unicode hinting
values(N'#z#') to try to force the db to use unicode.
<cfset z=chr(8220)&chr(8221)&chr(3840)&chr(8216)&chr(8217)>
<cfquery name="i" datasource="lab">
SET NOCOUNT ON
insert testQuotes(textData)
values('#z#')
SELECT lastID=@@IDENTITY
SET NOCOUNT OFF
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="g" datasource="lab">
SELECT textData
FROM testQuotes
WHERE id=#i.lastID#
</cfquery>
<cfoutput>#g.textData#</cfoutput>
<br>
<cfif g.textData EQ z>
equal
<cfelse>
not equal
</cfif>
