First, don't touch NLS_LANG at all. NLS_LANG identifies the client encoding, not the database encoding. Django uses UTF-8 internally, so NLS_LANG should be set to that. Second, Django uses NVARCHAR2 columns by default, so the NLS_CHARACTERSET setting shouldn't matter; data will be stored using the NLS_NCHARACTERSET setting, which is necessarily Unicode. Check your tables to make sure they're using NVARCHAR2/NCLOB rather than VARCHAR2/CLOB columns. Finally, you could be having a problem with bind parameters being transmitted in the database character set by the Oracle driver, although I think those problems have been cleared up. If the above two steps don't solve the problem, try recompiling cx_Oracle with the WITH_UNICODE option.
