| Title: Chinese Text into non Unicode Database |

I have a requirement to store Chinese characters into a column within a table in a non Unicode database. All other textual columns in the database are stored as English text. I have done some reading on the subject and it looks like this can be achieved by using the data type NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 and amending certain NLS and Oracle init parameters. I have a database with the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET set to AL16UTF16 and have set-up my session NLS parameters to be as follows:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE='SIMPLIFIED CHINESE';
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_TERRITORY='CHINA';
However when I attempt to copy and paste a Chinese character, (e.g. 第一批异体字整理表) into an SQL*Plus window the characters get replaced by the symbol ?. I can copy and paste the characters into Notepad and other windows applications so I think the issue is Oracle related. Can anyone advise what I need to do so I can insert Chinese characters into a single NVARCHAR2 database column?
Regards
