Hi All,

I'm trying to connect to a Firebird database which contains Unicode fields 
(Charset UNICODE_FSS) and is filled with
chinese text.

so far I've tried the DBExpress controls but have found that the data is not 
displaying correctly. I've found out from
another post that the D8 DBExpress is not Unicode compatible and actually 
converts everything to Ansi, hence all
the data displaying incorrectly.

can somebody confirm this for me and suggest which DB controls I should be 
using to connect to this database and able to
see the data correctly?   ADO maybe?

I have a app that works correctly in Delphi 6 but I had to use the TNT 
controls to allow unicode support, these don't exsit for D8 so
is there something similar I could use?


Many thanks

Chris Hedges
