UTF8 support in Azure SQL Server

Question

I read that need to use "nvarhar" for utf8 fields. But how to define it through Hibernate & Spring?

@Column(name = "TITLE", nullable = false)
private String title;

If you want to make this change globally you can override the hibernate default mapping using the hibernate type registry: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.6/reference/en-US/html/types.html#types-registry
