Toad will show you what's in the editor using the local Windows characterset
(probably something in codepage 1252, perhaps?), while the SQL DUMP function
will show you the characters in your database's characterset (e.g.
WE8ISO8859P15).

And since those two charactersets don't have to be the same, their
interpretations of characters don't have to be the same either.  That's the
job of the Oracle Server/Client communications.

HTH!  GL!
