I have a long paragraph that I want to display in a gridview. The gridview gets its data from sql server. So the sql server string returned could be declared (I hope) as Nvarchar, and then somehow I'd concatenate the symbols as I assemble the paragraph. I thought of using CHAR(251), but that doesn't return a checkmark or a square root sign, either of which would be OK. And char is limited to ASCII characters. Unicode would have the right symbols, but I don't think sql server has a way of showing them.
Any help is appreciated.
