How to display utf8 characters in sql developer

692593Mar 24 2009 — edited Mar 26 2009
Is there a setting I need to change in sql developer in order to display utf8 characters?
I am seeing weird characters when displaying chinise/arabic characters in sql developer. I can display the same data just fine in Putty ( I changed the following setting in putty before I was able to display utf8 characters ok: Windows->Translation and selected UTF8) .


Thanks,
SK

Pl post the following -

1. OS version and oracle version
2. NLS settings for the database
3. Output from sqlplus showing the UTF8 characters
4. Same output from SQLDeveloper
