HELP: some characters retrieved by JDBC are wrong (and all same: 65533)

I am reading out our database with JDBC-7. Most characters are ok, e.g. german umlauts, but some , e.g. long dash are read as hex fffd. Moreover, all these chars are returnd as THE SAME value. In sqlplus all chars are ok. I read out the field as binaryStream and found a 3-byte UTF8 which encodes the same fffd value. So , a think that Oracle sends me this false values.

Can anyone help me out?

Ciao, and thanks,
