Anything special about UNICODE

Hi All,
I have a Sybase table with International text (UTF-8) fields. Is there
anything special about retrieving these columns in my C# application?
If I retrieve the data into a recordset or datareader and dump the fields
into strings, i should be able to view the text or do I need to do any
special encoding to view the UTF-8 data?

Thanks

Hi,

I assume this is a job of the provider as .net internally uses UTF16.
