Btw, is it not limited to BMP (basic multilingual plane) characters? All unicode characters can no longer be represented in 16 bits (supplementary characters since Unicode 3.1 - code points above U+FFFF). I guess since this was only added to Java in 1.5 (which supports Unicode 4.0), Derby does not currently handle such supplementary characters? http://www.unicode.org/glossary/ http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/Supplementary/ Dag
