I am having a String which contains a hypen. I am using JDBC to connect to Oracle 10g database. When the string content is stored in the database hypen gets converted to inverted question mark.

Any suggestion on how to retain the hypen in database is greatly appreciated.

When the string content is stored in the database hypen gets converted to inverted question mark.

Where - and how - do you see that it is stored in the database as a question mark?

quote
When data character set conversion is required, the target character set should be a superset of the source datafile character set. Otherwise, characters that have no equivalent in the target character set are converted to replacement characters, often a default character such as a question mark (?). This causes loss of data.
