Problem stored values in Oracle

[Mario Ruiz]

If I enter in my website the value éI9Ãq'ÃœnPt• the last character is
replaced on the database by ¿

The problem is I have to test automatically that the content on the
database is the same that the content it was entered on the webpage and
I don't want to do something easy like replace characters.

Any idea how to solve it in a good way?

Thank you.

I found the problem.
The language of the client and the server were different so I had to
change the value on the client side in regedit.

thank you.

It's probably also a good idea to check character encoding of the
database and / or column because that affects how comparisons are done
and what characters you can store inside.

Kind regards

How can I check the encoding, encode and decode?

Thanks.

If the column type is NVARCHAR2 it's Unicode. For more info, please
check Oracle's docs:
