AFAIK, you can't store \0 in a text (varchar, ...) field. This is a
server-side restriction, not a JDBC-specific issue. Any other (16 bit)
unicode character should be fine assuming it can be represented in your
DB encoding.
You may want to use bytea and PreparedStatement.setBytes() if you really
want to store arbitary data.
