I have a product description field which I need to instert the character ™. I have a VB.Net program which allows the user to enter details into a text box and then writes the data to the database. I have recommended the user use the jeyboard shortcut alt(0153) to enter this and it displays ok, however when the data is retrieved from the database it is incorrect.

I have tried the same procedure using ® and alt(0174) which works ok.

Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
-Ian

It's probably related to your NLS_LANG settings in server and client.  A good starting point would be to find out what it's written to the database using the ASCII function.
