Hi,
I can access the database either from a .NET program (using ODBC) or through a database management tool (written in Java).
If I write a 'é' character to the database from the .NET program, it appears as 'Õ' (capital O with tilde) in the DB management tool.
If I write a 'é' character to the database from the DB management tool, it appears as 'Å' (capital A with a circle on top) in the .NET program.
I am not trying to actually solve the problem (i.e. having both programs show the same thing), although that would be nice. I am merely trying to guess which character sets each is using to interpret the data, so that I can do the conversion myself if I dump data using .NET and re-input it using the tool.
So, which combination of 2 character sets would give the character mismatches described above?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: using Sybase ASE 12.5
EDIT: basically the question is: do you know of a character encoding whose E9 code point represents character 'Õ' (capital O with tilde) or 'Å' (capital A with a circle on top)? (this supposes one of them is using Latin 1, hence the E9, which I think is pretty likely)
EDIT: Paul's solution does it. The answer about the charset is: hp-roman8
