unable to display degree symbol correctly

Hi,

I am having problem to display " 55??C " when run SQL*PLUS query from Exceed Xstart Client session. I am getting "55????C" instead.

But if I start dtterm session and run the SQL*PLUS then I am able to display 55??C on my terminal correctly.

For both sessions I set LANG=univ.utf8 and NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.utf8 . My default SHELL=/usr/ksh.

What is the different between dtterm session and Exceed Xstart client session? How to make Xstart client session to be able to display degree symbol correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Re: unable to display degree symbol correctly

This is one of the reasons I don't like Exceed--its terminal emulation has a lot to be desired. I don't think there's a way to fix this the way you want to. You should try a different X server, or do what I did and move to Citrix MetaFrame for Unix.

You might try searching the Exceed Knowledge Base to see if there is help

Re: unable to display degree symbol correctly

Start Exceed -> Xconfig ->Input -> Keyboard ?

Try a few ?

I see from Exceeds Xconfig help that you can modify any of the supplied keyboard files ....

scenario :

You want to create a kb file for mathematical symbols, or alphabets such as Arabic,Cyrillic,Greek, or Hebrew ... might be worth a go ?
