Labview 6.1 unicode character in Access

[Vadim]

Friends, I have a following problem, an old code in 6.1 that is writing to Access DB, I am pulling the info from a table that has an Ohm sign, when interpreted as a string it comes as a question mark '?"  I know it's time for an update and i am updated to the 2011 version, just haven't gotten a chance to upgrade the old code.  Now is there a way in older labview to interpret the Ohm sign to show up on LV?

LabVIEW doesn't fully support Unicode. Yes, even in the most current version. There are some workarounds. I would suggest reading this: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10153

yeah I had done more digging around, it's crazy that such a measurement oriented software has such a hard time with unicode....

Why would it be crazy?  Unicode is a computer science/software problem that affects various operating systems, software, communication protocols .... 

It has nothing to do with measurements.
