I'm using:

PL/SQL Developer
Version 7.1.2.1363
12.41114 - 2 user license
Windows XP Professional 5.1 Build 2600 (Service Pack 2)

and accessing an Oracle 9i database with the following NLS parameters:

Parameter Value
NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP FALSE
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 9.2.0.1.0
NLS_SORT BINARY
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR

On my Windows XP SP2 machine, I have NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. When I run PL/SQL Developer and run a query that returns multi-byte characters (Japanese, Chinese, Korean), I get ASCII soup in the output. For example:

COMPANY
(
 
It seems like Unicode data represented as single byte characters.

Have you enabled the "Unicode support" option (Tools > Preferences > Oracle / Options)?

If so, can you go to Help > Support Info, press the 'Copy all pages' button on this info screen, and paste this text into an e-mail reply?
 
I do have "Unicode enabled" checked in Tools > Preferences > Oracle/Options. I have tried with it checked and with it unchecked and there is no difference in the output.

I have emailed the results of the "Copy all pages" button from Help > Support Info.

Thanks for your help.
