stripping non utf-8 characters from string

a square means either there's a slight encoding issue or more likely the font you chose to display these doesn't contain that glyph.

if your table is using one of "N" datatypes to hold your unicode text and you're using the JDBC driver instead (labeled as ms sql server) of the ODBC one then it's most likely a simple font issue.

got a public page i can see that shows this issue?

no such thing as non-utf8 chars. what exactly are you trying to do?
