accent character sees right in sqldeveloper and wrong in oracle forms

juliojgsSep 10 2014 — edited Sep 23 2014

This is oracle 11g (both database and forms).

I've got a table with a blob column for a file and a varchar2 column for the filename.

I've got a form that retrieves the file to the client hdd and opens it. Till now it was working fine.

Today we've got an issue with a file unable to open. The problem is that the filename varchar2 has an odd character inside:

´

which is a chr(180)

The problem is that sqldeveloper shows the accent ok:

Pértigas-VAT´s.pdf

, but forms shows this:

Pértigas-VAT¿s.pdf

Why is forms getting it wrong?

My NLS_LANG is NLS_LANG=SPANISH_SPAIN.WE8MSWIN1252 in both database and windows client registry. (I still have to ask to the sysadmin if the weblogic is also this, but I think so).
