Hi @Dpujara
Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community.
Fabric data warehouse stores data in Parquet files, a columnar format optimized for analytics. Since Parquet doesn't support NVARCHAR (used for storing Unicode characters), Fabric data warehouse doesn't directly support nvarchar. Instead, it recommends using varchar for storing text data. Since Fabric prioritizes efficiency for large datasets, it uses varchar for simplicity.
For more details please refer : Data types in Warehouse
I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
