No, it does not.

Cyrillic character set has all ASCII symbols (including English alphabet), so if you don't have say German or French data, you can use one of these Cyrillic encoding in Oracle itlself (you must do it) and NLS_LANG

  1. Under Windows: Oracle itself - WE8MSWIN1251 NLS_LANG, for example, Russian.Russia.WE8MSWIN1251
  2. Under Unix: WE8ISO8859P5 NLS_LANG, for example, Russian.Russia.WE8ISO8859P5
