Indeed, no one has forbidden extended-ASCII chars :) Though these would be

presentation-wise. But you can't control it uniformly unless you
explicitly tell how to enterpret. I wanna see my Cyrillic chars and not
the diacritics of Latin chars, for example. An Indian friedn of mind would
like to see their Hindi chars there instead, so... You are lucky because
your accented chars are the deault representation.

There could potentially
be a need to tell the UI which ASCII it is, not sure how it is.

*NO*, we discussed this.

Data encoding is unknown if SQL_ASCII is selected, so we have to leave it up to the gui to display whatever it means. Hopefully it is what the user expected (it probably will, if using the same language settings as he used when inserting the data).

For other encodings, all 256 chars are well-known, so the server knows how to recode to UNICODE, and we know how to display.
