Special Characters in SQLPlus?

[Quoted] I have some setup tables that a program of mine loads data from, and I need to put some special characters (e.g. one that shows up in a TT font as the "cross of lorraine") into some varchar2 columns in them.
I know the database / tables will handle them, as I can input the data via my program (using RogueWave's DBTools) and the chars go in and come out just fine.
However, when I enter them via SQLPlus or SQL Worksheet, they get replaced by question marks. :-(
I will write a special program to provide UI for configuration, if I have to, but I'd rather just use a generic data-entry tool. Are there any that will work with these special characters, or is there something special I can do to SQLPlus or SQL Worksheet that will make them accept these?
TIA for any ideas or leads ...
