Hi @jordan72 ,

Maybe try to add to your jdbc connection url following parameters: 

- CharacterEncoding=UTF-8;

- UseUnicode=true;

- CharSet=UTF-8;

String url = "jdbc:databricks://<your-host>:443/default;transportMode=http;ssl=1;httpPath=<http-path>;AuthMech=3;UID=token;PWD=<token>;CharSet=UTF-8;characterEncoding=UTF-8;UseUnicode=true;";
