Using foreign characters in a search expression

Here is my problem:

When I include foreign characters in my search condition, the query is not retrieving the records which satisfy the condition. Am I missing something?

My SQL statement looks something like this:

select * from contacts where upper(contact_name) like '%É%';

It looks like Oracle treats the É character as E. Do I have to change my client environment variables such as NLS_LANG for proper execution of this statement?

Thanks...
