Here is a list of few chars, which I want to insert into table. Those chars are not exists in ASCII set.
Can someone please explain me either how (and which) to set the NLS char set or insert by some other method.
I am using oracle 8.1.6.3.0
Thanks

Get the character's ascii number (this example is for 'a')
select ascii('a') from dual;

select chr(97) from dual;

Use chr() in insert, update etc.
