That's mysql but I presume ms sql would have something similar.
I'm not a programmer. My attitude starts with ignorance, holds steady at conversation, and ends with a trip to the hospital. Get used to it.

I would check your collation schema for that database. For those who don't know what I'm talking about. A collation defines how SQL will handle unicode characters. Most likely you have your collation set to something like SQL_Latin1_General. I'm not sure what collation is best for Vietnamese. I did find out that Windows has a collation support for Vietnamese.

Here is a link to get you started:

If in doubt, reach into the trash can and remove the user guide.
