Find UNICODE Data

How can you find UNICODE date within char & varchar fields in table.
I am in the midst of a migration and need to evaluate all the fields that
may have €
chinese, french and thus require more char space in the new structure.
This is a matter of great urgency so any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
marcIf the fields are not a Unicode data type, then there is no Unicode data in
them. If the characters are not supported by the code page of the field
(defined by its by collation), they are lost (will show up as '?'). If they
are supported by the code page, you can search for them like you normally
would, or by using full-text search.
