Using Oracle and within SQL*Plus I execute a SQL command using the DUMP function.
SQL> select DUMP(Field1, 16) from MY_TABLE;
It prints out the following :
Typ=1 Len=10 CharacterSet=AL32UTF8: c3,83,e2,82,ac,c3,83,e2,82,ac
The SQL*Plus session is run within my Putty session and when the "Remote character set :" configuration is changed to various settings (UTF-8, ISO-8859-1:1998 (Latin-1, West Europe), ....) , different characters appear.
Using UTF-8 conversion (assuming it is done correctly) with the above info it almost seems like it should be the same 2 characters.
c3 83
11000011 10000011
11000011
C3
e2 82 ac
11100010 10000010 10101100
10000010101100
20AC
How can I tell exactly what characters (whether it is 1,2 or more characters) it should be then I know that my Putty session is configured correctly?
