Settings are following:
ODAC 5.55.0.21
Delphi 7.1
Oracle 9i 9.2.0.5.0 with (charset = AL32UTF8 & NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR)
OraSession Options (Net = True, UseUnicode = True)
TntUnicodeControls (download from http://www.tntware.com/delphicontrols/u ... nloads.htm)
(chinese or english) Windows XP Professional SP1 (Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Regional Options->Chinese (Taiwan))

I already have some data that contains portuguese and chinese in Unicode DB table.
when I set the Regional Options to "Chinese (Taiwan)",
the chinese display fine, but some portuguese can not display.

when I set the Regional Options to "English (United States)",
the portuguese display fine, but the chinese can not display.

how can I display the Portuguese and Chinese successful with Net=True and Regional Options->Chinese (Taiwan))?

Possibly this is a problem of visualization in VCL components. Because ODAC returns the same data for Chinese and Portuguese independently from Regional Options. Try to test TStringGrid or TEdit with constant data. Try to use some controls ("Tnt Delphi UNICODE Controls" for example) that can work with Unicode directly.

I already used "Tnt Delphi UNICODE Controls", but also have this result when I changed the Regional Options ["Chinese (Taiwan)" or "English (United States)"].

We reproduced your problem and fixed it. This fix will be included in the next ODAC build.
