Я бы попробовал что-то подобное для функции Trim, которая учитывает все символы пробела, определенные стандартом Unicode (LTRIM и RTRIM даже не обрезают символы новой строки!):
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.IsWhiteSpace', N'FN') IS NOT NULL
DROP FUNCTION dbo.IsWhiteSpace;
GO
-- Determines whether a single character is white-space or not (according to the UNICODE standard).
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.IsWhiteSpace(@c NCHAR(1)) RETURNS BIT
BEGIN
IF (@c IS NULL) RETURN NULL;
DECLARE @WHITESPACE NCHAR(31);
SELECT @WHITESPACE = ' ' + NCHAR(13) + NCHAR(10) + NCHAR(9) + NCHAR(11) + NCHAR(12) + NCHAR(133) + NCHAR(160) + NCHAR(5760) + NCHAR(8192) + NCHAR(8193) + NCHAR(8194) + NCHAR(8195) + NCHAR(8196) + NCHAR(8197) + NCHAR(8198) + NCHAR(8199) + NCHAR(8200) + NCHAR(8201) + NCHAR(8202) + NCHAR(8232) + NCHAR(8233) + NCHAR(8239) + NCHAR(8287) + NCHAR(12288) + NCHAR(6158) + NCHAR(8203) + NCHAR(8204) + NCHAR(8205) + NCHAR(8288) + NCHAR(65279);
IF (CHARINDEX(@c, @WHITESPACE) = 0) RETURN 0;
RETURN 1;
END
