1. What RDB are you using; SQL Server, MySql, MS Access?
2. What character set are you using? Does your code tell EF that?
3. How are viewing the data; calling it back into App or using external tool?

Solution 1

"Nvarchar(100)" is NOT a "type"; "nvarchar" is.

"nvarchar" is also the default.

Solution 2

builder.Property(x => x.FirstNameN).HasColumnType("nvarchar").HasMaxLength(100);

If you;re using MySQL you can set is as unicode using Data Annotations:
