I'm not using Oracle, but Postgres. The database is in UTF-8 format,
so that "should" be what I'm getting out of it. I'm not getting the
data directly from the database anyway, but via ns_http. I have no
idea how UTF-8S is getting in to the mix other than it's the only
format I can find to convert to that works.
Bas is probably right, I should just do this in pure java. My main
concern is that I'm doing something wrong that's making this harder
than it needs to be. Using the encoding command would be so simple...
I already saw that message, thanks, and have followed it as much as
possible.

this is a bastardized format of sorts, proposed by Oracle and not

Are you using Oracle with NLS_LANG set to AL32UTF8, or just UTF8?
I spotted this OpenACS forum message, if you see what to check and/or
change:

The problem is, Tcl doesn't support utf-8s, and as far as I can tell
there is no other format that will work.
If you tell Oracle you want AL32UTF8, then you'll get UTF-8 as Tcl
expects (and can handle).
