Hi William;

  Since PB v10 and higher are fully Unicode (UTF-16) compliant, my guess is that either the DBMS migration, DB settings and/or DB client used could be the source of your problem.

   Have you tried other SS tools to see if they can display the special characters OK?

Regards ... Chris

The new database in SQL 2016 needs to use datatype nchar or nvarchar instead of char or varchar for columns likely to contain accented characters. The nchar and nvarchar datatypes allow for storing Unicode characters.
