You need to enable UTF-8 encoding on your MS-SQL server.
See " docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-...iew=sql-server-ver15 " .
I don't know if that's possible for an existing database though.
Good luck!

COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
GO

Hi Matadeleo,

Unfortunately that collate is only for MySQL, not SQL server. :(

Hi Fvanderstarre,

We are using the latin general.
It works ok if you don't upload images

We use nvarchar for mssql : docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-...iew=sql-server-ver15

github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/a5.../MssqlSchema.php#L11

Then some solutions : you use an old version of LimeSuvey or your server didn't accept nvarchar or transfert between SQL server and web server broke collation

Hi,

We've installed a new version with MySQL and the problem was solved.
The problem appears only with SQL server database.

Thank you for your help

I use LimeSurvey on a mssql server and don't have issue with utf8 caracter with the last LTS version : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/...24c1774493d86706233a
Please : always put the LimeSurvey version and build number
