Hi Mike, We can try two things 1. Windows client set SQLFONT (in registry) to a font that is capable of displaying the language of interest. Assuming a correct NLS_LANG setting in the client 2. Unix Telnet to a UNIX box and then do 1. stty istrip 2. set the characterset part of NLS_LANG to UTF8 and export it 3. select the data.

We're experimenting with Unicode in Oracle 9i. We've experimented with the various NLS_LANG settings, but I cannot seem to get Unicode characters to display properly. I've tried SQL*Plus for Windows, SQL*Plus for HP-UX, and iSQL*Plus. No Joy anywhere. Has anybody fought with this before? Know any good tips or pointers?
