With 8.1.6, you may go through an extensive check with the data in all the character columns in your database to verify the compatibility and then use 'alter database nls_characterset = UTF8'

i once hear someone said that:
update sys.props$ set value='utf8' where name ='NLS_characterset'; and it seems it do work,but not konw whether it is legal,and no experience in production database.
