I *think* that the client charset needs to match what the server is sending.  So if the server is sending CP850, you need to set freetds to expect that, or things will get garbled.  Did you try that?  What was the result?

Or am I misunderstanding your problem?

This is the problem. While trying to get UTF-8 it seems to always be
returning CP850 (no matter how I try to get UTF-8 results).

Best regards,
