philipse commented on HIVE-22177:
---------------------------------

hi,

it seems the special character is not the standard UTF-8 character, so i try 
the following tests.

1) i upload the file with the special character to an hive location(hdfs 
location) ,the hive query or presto works fine

2) i use an reflect function to encoder it as the UTF-8, and the hive query 
works fine 
{code:java}
// INSERT INTO t1 select reflect('java.net.URLEncoder', 'encode','£' , "UTF-8");
{code}
{code:java}
// SELECT reflect('java.net.URLDecoder', 'decode',test , "UTF-8")  FROM t1 
WHERE reflect('java.net.URLDecoder', 'decode',test , "UTF-8") ='£';
+------+--+
| _c0  |
+------+--+
| £    |
| £    |
| £    |
+------+--+
3 rows selected (0.245 seconds)
{code}
the above is my advice,please correct me if i miss sth.

>             Project: Hive
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Beeline
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.0, 2.3.6
>         Environment: Cloudera 5.15.1 Hive 1.1.0
> beeline and Impala
>            Reporter: Sanjay Mishra
>            Priority: Major

> I have a table in hive with a column having special character like £. When I 
> try to a query as simple as 'SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COL = "£"; ', the 
> query does not come back with any result. 
> The table data is UTF-8 encoded. The sql file that contains the above sql and 
> run via beeline is also UTF-8 encoded.
> Interestingly, if I try to create the run the same query using impala against 
> the same table, I get back the columns containing the £ symbol.
> Also when the data from the table is exported (SELECT * FROM THE TABLE and 
> save the output to csv file) the column with special character is shown as 
> NULL.
>  
> Steps to replicate:
>  # create test.sql file with the below content: 
>  # 
> {code:java}
>  CREATE TABLE T1 (test String);
> INSERT INTO T1 VALUES('£');
> {code}
>  # beeline>!run test.sql
>  # create another file test_select.sql with the below content:
>  # 
> {code:java}
> SELECT * FROM T1 WHERE test='£';{code}
>  # beeline>!run test_select.sql
>  # No results will be returned back
