After moving a database to another server having a different character set
some problems occur. The application using the database is having problems
with some characters. The application did not have this problem with the
database on the original character set. I did the moving by doing a BCP out
from the original server and later doing a BCP in on the new server.
Does anyone know what to do to overcome this problem of moving databases to
another character set?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would be far easier to address this, if you provided concrete
examples. What does sp_helpsort say on the two servers? And can you
give concreate examples of characters you are having problems with?

If you are asking for answer on the general case, that's an essay I
don't feel like writing...
