No, you can't. If you don't prefix it with N, then the chinese
characters are lost in the implicit conversion to varchar, so you
cannot get them back (unless the varchar has a DBCS collation, which
would be if you have the default server collation on a Chinese_*
collation, but I don't think that would be a good idea).
