I have a database with fields defined as univarchar. I cannot get Jisql to display the data correctly in these fields, all charachters display as shadowed rectangles.

To verify the database is setup properly, if I use the command line isql with the -Jutf8 switch the info displays fine. Without the switch I get what appears as hex representations of each charachter in the univarchar field (using iso_1 default).

I am assuming Jisql is a.) not configured properly or b.) lacking utf-8 functionality/support or is buggy.

Has anyone been able to get Jisql to display utf-8 encoded data properly(multi-lingual, i.e. Japanese,German, English etc in same table)? I cannot believe Sybase would release this otherwise. I am new to unicode and going from 11.0.3.3 to 12.5.1 so please excuse any obvious oversights.

Did you get a solution for this issue? I face this too.

no, I did not. I have been using isql and squirrel (from sourceforge.net), it is pure java so you can run it on win, unix etc, just need to set up your jconnect drivers.
