I have a table in which one of the columns has data mixed with a special character called replacement symbol (

⍰

). When the report is opened in report manager, this special character is not displayed and instead an extra empty space is displayed. However, i would still want this special character to be displayed as it is.

What I have tried:

Went through many blogs over the internet to find a possible solution but hard luck so far.

Usually these issues are due to character sets and encoding; the SQL solution is to make sure you are using the proper datatypes (NVarChar vs VarChar) and that the Collation property for the table/column is set correctly.

As for the report side of things, you may need to decode/re-encode that data into UTF8.
