I have access database that contains messages in multiple langgages. When I open Access database table it showsforegin languageletters correctly. But when I display it in datagrid..all I can see is garbage charcters. How to fix this issue. .Net supports UTF16 . Dose datagrid supports unicode

I have had this same problem and it seemed like there was no easy answer.  I solved it by adjusting the regional settings on my machine.

Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Languages Tab

check the boxes to install files for complex script and east asian languages

Now my application correctly displays the characters that were correctly displayed in the Access database.  Of course the next step is packaging these files into your application so that others who install it won't have to go through the same step, and that's where I'm at now, still working on it.
