Oracle via ODBC not handling russian characters

User_JYHS9Jan 7 2022

Hi,
I have an ODBC connection to an Oracle DB on a Windows Server.
ODBC version: InstantClient 21.3
When i run a SELECT query and the returned data has Russian (Cyrillic) characters in it, the return in the field is gibberish characters. It feels like a character encoding issue.
When I run this query from other ODBC connections (non-windows) or as JDBC connections, the Cyrillic characters come back as expected.
Is a setting somewhere on my Windows Server that needs to be adjusted to get this query to be supported in the right Character Set?
Any help is appreciated.
