Re^10: Japanese character in Linux

 $sSQL  = " select japanese_longname, \n";
        $sSQL .= " japanese_shortname \n";
$sSQL .= " from <table name> \n";

        $sSQL .= " where instrument_id = '1301' \n";
        $sSQL .= " and instrument_type = 'ST' \n";

#print("Sql i d $sSQL\n");
        $dbFOX_sth=$dbFOX->prepare($sSQL);
        $dbFOX_sth->execute();
        if ( @row = $dbFOX_sth->fetchrow_array ) {
                foreach ( @row)
                 {
                  $_ = Encode::decode_utf8( $_ );
                  }
                 ( $sInstrumentNameJ, $sInstrumentShortJ )    = @row;

Here the values stored in $sInstrumentNameJ,$instrumentShortJ are passed to oracle stored procwhich is inserting into Nvarchar2 datatype columns. When we hardcode values with Ascii data like "ABC" it works fine , but for japanese data it comes as junk
