   That's like saying "I just enabled my car to run on gasoline" (or petrol,   
   depending what side of the pond you're on). Unicode (more accurately UTF-16)   
   is the native character set of Windows XP. Nothing needs to be done to   
   enable it.   
      
   Maybe you just installed some new fonts, like Arial Unicode MS, that allow   
   the system to display characters it otherwise has no font for? There are   
   various other settings and packages you could be alluding to, but it's not   
   clear which.

   I doubt that whatever you enabled has any effect on SQL Server.
