SQL Server is configured with the code page 850 Multilingual character set
and sort order 42 (dictionary order, case-insensitive sort order). The

)
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @code BINARY(2)
DECLARE @aChar VARCHAR(2)
SELECT @code = 0x88a4
WHILE @code < 0x88a6
BEGIN
SELECT @code
SELECT @aChar = convert(VARCHAR(2), @code)
SELECT @aChar
INSERT t (aChar, code) VALUES (@aChar, @code)
SELECT @code = @code + 1
END
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use another code page.
