please reread the discussion:

First: I posted an example containing ü characters. Some of them were correctly retrieved. Others not. So our Oracle DB is capable of storing and retrieving ü, yes? Ans so are my tools, because I used cut-and-paste to create my mail.

Then: Andrew Hardy replied that he got the correct result. BUT: In his mail all ü characters were mangled. so it was unclear to me if he realy entered ü characters in hit DB or that they were already mangled beforehand.

Then: I asked to clearify this. But he didn't upto now.

Well: I am using the gqlplus tool on a RedHat Linux system. Oracle also runs there.
