Inserting Spanish characters and printing them.

YEVVNov 14 2018 — edited Nov 19 2018

I am trying to insert some spanish chars from sqlplus to database.

NLS_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8

NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN

NLS_TERRITORY=AMERICA

Unix:

echo $LANG

en_US.iso88591

SQLPLUS:

host echo $NLS_LANG

AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

Insert into table1   (VALUE) Values  ('Análisis'); //the spanish I pasted from some web page , didn't typed it manually as I don't have the layout

selecting this value returns some invalid characters  (can't paste them as pasting also changes some  chars).

select CONVERT(VALUE, 'WE8ISO8859P1', 'UTF8') from table1

return same corrupted characters.

Any ideas?
