Assigning value that contains special characters to variable looses special characters












0















So this is weird issue that is related to only one letter: ț I'm talking about Microsoft SQL Server and database that has Collation property set to Romanian_CI_AS.



When I launch this query:



select name from mytable where id = 1


I'm getting correct result containing this special character. But when I'm launching this query:



declare @name varchar(max) = (select name from mytable where id = 1)
select @name


or this one:



declare @name varchar(max) = (select name COLLATE Romanian_CI_AS from mytable where id = 1)
select @name


I'm seeing ? instead of this particular letter. Any other special characters work fine.



Do you know how can I assign this value to a variable without loosing mentioned letter?
