title: Can´t store Unicode characters on SQL Azure for Mobile Services
body: <p>I´m using Windows Azure Mobile Services with a SQL Azure database, for my Windows Phone 8 App.</p>
  
  <p><strong>I´m trying to store strings that contains Unicode characters</strong>, in concrete, <strong>emojis like <code> ⛅  </code></strong>,etc...</p>
  
  <p>But <strong>in the SQL Azure explorer, I always see a simbol with '?'</strong> (�). I have declared this Col. as <code>Nvarchar(max).</code></p>
  
  <p>To insert the row with the string field, I´m using the function: <code>await Table.InsertAsync(Register)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The Collation of the Database is: <code>SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>Why I can´t save and retrieve these Unicode characters??</strong> I thought with Nvarchar, all Unicode strings would be allowed.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
