MetaField value returns '???????'

Hi,

I've created a metafield as MetaDataType.Text for OrderAddressMetaClass.
When I save the value in Russian for example 'Здравствуй' and later try to get the same value, EpiServer returns '??????' as value.
Why is that and do I do something wrong when saving the text value ?
When I do this with MetaDataType.String, it works all right.

Regards,
A

MetaDataType.Text metafield will be stored in a Text column, so it does not support Unicode character. You should be using ShortString or LongString instead.
