Sounds like you've solved this one already, but since you invoked my name (and in vain too, since I was of no help <grin>), I'll just chime in to say that my best guess is that you are encountering a character set translation issue. Not sure my book would help much with this. I don't recall delving into character sets in the book. I'll have to correct that omission when I do the revision.

I will say that I've recently had occasion to delve into Oracle's support of Unicode (for Steven Feuerstein's upcomming PL/SQL, Third Edition). It's incredible how complicated something so seemingly simple (on the surface) can be.
