#21 UTF16 in C++

[Anonymous]

Hi,

i need to write Korean Characters (example: 향찰/鄕札) into an Oracle database via a C++ Middleware that is using the OCILIB.
It is already possible to write and save these characters with a C# Service that uses the Oracle-Libs, which means that the Database should be configured correctly.

The C++ Middleware runs on Linux and we set the NLS_LANG to GERMAN_GERMANY.AL32UTF8.
I am able to see the cahracters in the console/log but if i try to write them into the database via an Object that accepts the values as parameters they turn to '¿¿¿¿'.

The C#-Service uses the same Objects to write the data.

The values are bound as strings (std::string) in the C++ Middleware.
Do i need to adjust anything else than the NLS_LANG to make this work?
For example the Binding?

I could not find anything that matters in the OCILIB C Documentation and there aren't any examples for C++ for cases with special characters.

We tried for days but the characters ultimatively end up as '¿¿¿¿' in the databse tables if we write them via the C++ Middleware.

Thanks for your help!

Sry i entered the wron title. It should not be "UTF16 in C++".
This has probably nothing to to with UTF16 encoding :)
