Unicode Character

[joelcc]

I need help with the following error:  No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page

IntraWeb uses UTF8 encoding when creating String streams, *always*. Every time I see this issue in an IW application it happens when IW interfaces with some DB layer, exactly that case here. IW is retrieving data coming from DB and trying to encode it as UTF8 but it is not possible. 
What DB access framework are you using? What is the RDMBS? Are you sure that the encoding is correct?

This is going through a MiddleTier call to Remobjects Data Abstract which is using the Devart Unidac to an Oracle database.   Unicode is turned on.

     <ConnectionString>UniDAC?AuxDriver=Oracle;Server=some;Database=some;UserID=xxxxx;Password=apassword;Net=0;UseUnicode=True;</ConnectionString>

Thanks everyone.   I figured out the issue.

the connection string needs to have SpecificOptions.UseUnicode=True;  not UseUnicode=True for the driver to work properly.
