I don't know whether this is your problem, but Oracle has two versions of "Western European" character sets. One is, I think 7 bits, and is used by American English. The other is 8 bits and is used by Western European languages that need accents and other non-American characters. Others here may correct, me but I believe it is fairly easy to move from 7 bits to 8 but not the other way around.
