How to resolve issue when use sqlldr to load unicode character to table

in Database Utilities (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

We have CSV file with data which having some special characters like 

KŸnste

AntigŸedades

When I load data into our Oracle 12c DB by Putty session, I first set putty translation as UTF8, and once login to unix server, I did export NLS_LANG = American_America.UTF8 or NLS_LANG = American_America.AL32UTF8 ( also tried to export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8) , then start to do Sqlldr. After loading, I checked these data in table, the special character showed incorrectly like question mark.

Our DB [NLS_LANGUAGE]_[NLS_TERRITORY].[NLS_CHARACTERSET] value is

AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

Howdy, Stranger!
