how to store unicode in oracle?

[Charlie Wu]

Hi there:

I am trying to store some information in Chinese to an oracle db (8.1.6) who
NLS_PARAMETERS are as pasted below.. what kind of datatype should I use to
store unicode? Is there a way I can store this as ascii/varchar2 and then
somehow when my java application retrieves the data display it as Unicode or
GB chinese again?

Thanks!

Charlie
