special characters in SqlPlus under Linux

Hi

Does anybody know what to do about the following problem;

When using the commandline sql client provided with the linux version of Oracle 8.1.6, special
characters get malformed. For instance: a "é" is turned into an "e". I'm quite certain that it is the sql client doing this because when using the sqlplus client for windows
the characters are displayed correctly and even when I emulate the sqlplus client or toad under wine,
no malformation is taking place. Can anybody help me? Received on Mon May 13 2002 - 06:55:36 CDT
