Well, the problem with SQL_ASCII is exactly that - there is no
information about what encoding should be used to interpret the data.
You will have to inspect the data stored in the database by hand and
work out what encoding it is actually using. Then you should probably
convert the database to use UNICODE or another appropriate encoding.
