Arabic characters saved like ????????????????????? was created by romiomon
I am using Limesurvey Version 2.65.0+170502 (using MS SQL server as Database),

With the surveys in Arabic language.I can't retrieve all comments from the surveys responses as they are saved on the database like "??????????????????????".

Hello,

to understand your configuration:
LimeSurvey is run on the Windows Server or on a Linux Server?

For information : seems to be only the Response of the user (Reponse table) not the question text.

Thne : LimeSurvey use a different system when creating DB (with MSSQL) for Question and for Reponses. Maybe.
