Orcale7 supports unicode 1.1 with character set AL24UTFFSS, Oracle8 supports uninode 2.0 with character set UTF8. Unicode has two major encoding schemes: UCS-2 (two-byte fixed-width) and UTF-2 (multi-byte format with variable width). Oracle8 supports UTF-8 because the enhancement is transparent to client meaning UCS-2 client like NT will work with it.

Always remember unicode brings hidden performance and bandwidth overheads.
