Hi ,
i must supoport some character sets which are: Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Koean.
I have done some researchs and these are the results found:
1- oracle provide NCAHR and NVARCHAR2 types for attributes to be persisted in multibyte characters,
2- we must set NLS_LANG environment variable used to define language, territory and character set properties: export NLS_LANG=Japanese_Japan.JA16SJIS for japanese charcter..

To test insertion/retrieving of multibyte characters, I have:
1- create a new table called 'TEST' composed of one column which type is NVARCHAR2
2- export NLS_LANG=Japanese_Japan.JA16SJI
3- restart Oracle
4- insert into TEST a new row in japanese character set via a java porogram
5- if we select from TEST table we retrieve exclamation points set: ¿¿¿¿¿¿ Confused
I think that we need more configurations else. what do you think ?
thanks in advance Smile
--Best Regards,
Bilel

check following...
This is what you are using...
JA16SJIS Shift-JIS 16-bit Japanese

I would suggest you to use

UTF8 :- Unicode 2.0 UTF-8 Universal character set

hope it helps....
