As CP said, Dataminer (and IDL) don't handle unicode characters very well.

One potential workaround, if you are on windows, is to use ADO+COM. But
due to (what I think are) limitations in IDL's IDLcomIDispatch object
you will only be able to return a single data type at a time. So if
your queries return columns of type char, date, and number then it will
not work efficiently. But if your queries return columns of all number
or date or char types then it is an option.

Or, probably better yet, just create a view that replicates your table
and whose column titles are in roman characters.
