Conversions between character sets when using exp and imp utilities

393584Jul 25 2006 — edited Jul 30 2006

I use EE8ISO8859P2 character set on my server,
when exporting database with NLS_LANG not set
then conversion should be done between
EE8ISO8859P2 and US7ASCII charsets, so some
characters not present in US7ASCII should not be
successfully converted.
But when I import such a dump, all characters not
present in US7ASCII charset are imported to the database.
I thought that some characters should be lost when
doing such a conversions, can someone tell me why is it not so?
