I'm using nvarchar2 columns in an Oracle 9.2i table.  From a single connection in a 
single program I write data to the column and then read it back.  I get different 
characters than I sent in.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Jonathan Gennick writes that Oracle translates Unicode data to/from the national 
character set.  Is there a way to turn this off?  It's probably my problem.

Specifics: I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows 2000 (both of which natively use a 
UCS-16/UTF-16 character set) and MDAC/ADO 2.8.  I insert data without bind variables:  
INSERT ... VALUES(N'~') where the ~ can be any UTF-16 character.  For almost all code 
points above x007F the value is different when I read the column back in a record set.

Thanks, Jim
