Unless you have the need to support other languages other than English or need to
support characters
like the Euro, don't bother. You would not believe the pains we are having here
trying to get UTF8
working correctly... WE8ISO8859P1 or P15 might be a choice for you. See what other
listers
We use WE8ISO8859P1 as a corporate standard for all databases globally with no
problem. Haven't tried UTF8 yet though.

There is also a problem with 8.0.5 Client software not being
happy with the ISO8859 part 15 characterset. The symptoms are
that of either not displaying certain characters or displaying spurious
chars
(whatever is in the given code page for the given value from the
database...)
