How will I know my existing DB is in Unicode or Non-Unicode

662941May 18 2009 — edited May 18 2009

I know you will get character set information with following query.

select PARAMETER, value from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET';

Result is : WE8MSWIN1252 (My DB is hosted on Windows server 2003 64Bit Machine and created using default parameter)

My Question is how do I know that WE8MSWIN1252 is unicode- or non-unicode ?

Thank you for reading.

Thanks
