Why does EntityFramework trims out UTF encoded string?

Encoding.UTF8.GetString(inBytes, 0, inBytes.Length)

"�\0\0ID\0\0\0\0NJ\0SchemaVersion\0\0\0\0RequestType\0\0\0\0\n"

Above string when being saved to database using EntityFramework is clipped out to a single character '�'

Does EntityFramework trim the string behind the scenes? Probably to prevent SQL injections!

More Info:

I obtained a long UTF8 encoded string and trying to save into SQL server database using entity framework. Target column is of datatype nvarchar(max) & EF mapping to C# is string.

I have looked for this variable in quick watch and is properly assigned to dbcontext table property.

The issue was lot of '\0' characters in the encoded string. It was being treated as null character identifying end of string.

So I had to handle these characters in characters array to process it.
