@GUPTY
I'm going to flag this post for the Zapier Community Team. They should have more insight on this and can escalate to the support team if needed.
Sit tight, and someone will contact you soon.
Thanks Andrew!
Hi @GUPTY , I see you have been working with Support on this and appear to be affected by an open issue with special characters causing an issue in SQL Server.
You have been added to a report about this so that the app's technical team can look at it. This does the following:
- Re-raises this issue with the app’s team
- Adds weight to the issue in queue
- Reminds us to update you once this is resolved
Once there is an update, you'll definitely be notified! In the meantime, please let us know if you have any additional questions!
@Liz_Roberts @AndrewJDavison_Luhhu Perfect, I hope I know of a quick solution that my client urgently requires.
Thank you
Hi I have the same issue. It Happen when a lead contain special chars like hearts or smiles.
Can I manage the issue from the zap directly or I have to set some different options to my table in sql server ?
Hi @AdminServiceEvolution ,
I see you are working with Support on your specific configuration. I will let them continue to troubleshoot but please let us know what resolution you reach!
Hey folks, just reaching out here to share that the bug has been fixed! 
Thanks so much for everyone’s patience on this. In case you missed the email notification that went out here’s the main details from it:
“We’ve fixed an issue in the latest version where certain Unicode characters—including emojis—were not being handled correctly. This should now work as expected.
As a reminder, for the best results when working with emojis or special characters, we recommend using nvarchar column types. SQL Server does not reliably support Unicode characters in types like varchar.”
That said, if you continue to run into errors when using emojis or special characters, feel free to start a new topic or reach out to our Support team directly and we’ll be happy to assist.
In the meantime, happy Zapping!
