CLOB with Special Characters

758325Mar 5 2010 — edited Mar 9 2010
We recently upgraded our database to a UTF8 character set. Since then, a database function that uses DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR to return 4,000 characters at a time stopped working when the text contains special characters(accents, tilda, etc). I know our DBA converted all of the VARCHAR2 fields. For example, he changed a field with datatype of VARCHAR2(10) to VARCHAR2(10 char). Is there a similar conversion needed for CLOB fields?
