      Hi @Pedro Lopes 

       

      We have performed testing with SQL server 2019 RTM version 

      "Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (RTM-GDR) (KB4517790) - 15.0.2070.41 (X64)   Oct 28 2019 19:56:59   Copyright (C) 2019 Microsoft Corporation  Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 10.0 <X64> (Build 14393: ) (Hypervisor)" and still seeing this issue.

       

      Actual data before conversion is : 

      "€‚ƒ„…†‡ˆ‰Š‹ŒŽ‘’“”•–—˜™š›œžŸ¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬-®¯°±²³´µ¶•¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüý"

       

      Data after conversion is :

      ���������������������������������������-��������������������������������������������������������������������������������

       

      We are using following command to perform the conversion.

       

      sqlservr -c -m -T4022 -T3659 -s"RTMUTF8" -q"Latin1_General_100_CI_AS_SC_UTF8"

       

      Thanks
