Beginning in [!INCLUDEssSQL11], if you supply a fixed-length buffer when binding a column result or output parameter and if the wchar character written into the buffer before the terminating character is a high surrogate code point of a surrogate pair, and if the next wchar character is a low surrogate code point, [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client will not add the high surrogate code point to the buffer.
