1) how exactly do you retrieve?
2) what is the table column type you are storing the unicode data in?

column type is nvarchar(50)...
I'm using select statement retrieve the data....

1) i have assumed that you are using select statement, but what is the c# code?
2) ok
3) do you see proper coding when you select from the table in Management Studio?

We need a clear, complete but short code sample, don't we?
I should not be a problem, but as the problem exists, who know what have been screwed up?

Also, what font are you using on the label, does it support unicode?

Solution 1

1 - Are you using a font which has all Kannada glyphs?

2 - Are you on a system which has proper Unicode rendering engine? If you are on Windows7 or higher, everything should work well. Earlier versions may need support for complex scripts to be installed.
