Update to a previous post on Unicode support in SQL Server.
Which version of the Unicode Standard is supported by MS SQL Server?
| SQL Server Version | Unicode Version |
| 2000 | 3.0 |
| 2005 | 3.2 |
| 2008 | 5.0 |
| 2008 R2 | 5.0 |
| 2012 | 5.0* |
* The documentation on SQL Server 2012 does not explicitly refer to a Unicode version number. Even if there was no change, SQL Server 2012 introduced native support for supplementary characters.
