Everything was configured to use utf-8, but it still gave an error when migrating a server. Checked, Rechecked, RE-rechecked and the page still had a bad encoding.
Why ? NLS_LANG was not defined in the new server.
usage: regedit =>hkey_local_machine/software/oracle/nls_lang.
I'm starting to hate oracle so much mere words can't explain. It's their "oracle DB", their "oracle crm", their "OBIEE", their "java" full of holes... it' all a huge pile of shit. period.
jesus.
