Yeah, I tried looking at it the other day, but I have no idea how to test unicode stuff.
Maybe eno on GimpNet IRC #mono can help you. He may not be able to help with Oracle, but he knows unicode very well. jonp is another good person to to talk to. If possible, write a Windows.Forms application with a rich text box or a Gtk# application with a TextView and output your result there. This is so unicode characters will show up for you. When looking at the output in a MS DOS Command Prompt, all I get is ? (question marks) as well. Also, Oracle SQL Developer is a good oracle GUI tool which is free to download and use. It uses JDK 1.5 (JRE 1.5 will not work). This tool shows the unicode characters. --- Leszek Ciesielski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have started (finally!) to work on this bug.
