You mentioned that you tried nvarchar and varchar ... remember that nvarchar doubles the bytes used, but it is the only one of the two to support foreign characters in some cases, such as accent marks.
I believe you're running into this limitation.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
