For 9i I've used AL32UTF16 for the database character set

You should read the Globalization Support Guide http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/toc.htm

Also look at setting NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR rather than the default BYTE as AL32UTF8 is a multibute character set.

I've not done it in 10g but the Globalization Support Guide for 10g is at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/toc.htm
