Thank you Michael! set
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P9 in profile does
solve a part of my problem!
Now if I insert â from sqlplus on NT side and do a
select from sqlplus on Unix, I got â! Thank godness.
The only strange thing I have now is I cannot do
insert correctly from Unix. In Unix vi, if I copy â,
if become b. Why? Welcome any ideas!
Thanks.
