unixODBC is the Driver Manager.  FreeTDS is the driver that unixODBC is
managing.  freetds.conf is the file FreeTDS reads to determine how/where
to connect to your server.  

You might need a more recent version of FreeTDS.  

What version of OS are your running?  
Can you insert such strings with tsql?
What does the "client charset" entry look like in freetds.conf and
locale.conf?  
Did you link FreeTDS with libiconv?  
What character set is the client machine using?
