Hi @Mohanraj7393 

 

The difference between V-Wstring and string is V-Wstring allows unicode character and string does not.

 

You can create a formula like below and decompose unicode and store in a v-string (same as string) datatype column.

Let me know does this work. Decomposing unicode will convert unicode to other charaters.

 

Hope this helps : )
