Symptoms
When designing a report using Oracle Reports 11gR2 on the MS Windows platform containing a trademark symbol and porting it to the Unix platform for deployment and running the report to pdf output, an upside down (or inverted) question mark is displayed in the report output instead of the trademark symbol.
That is, when run reports on unix, you can get the Registered Trademark, chr(174), ®, and the Copyright symbol, chr(169),©, to display in reports, but the Trademark symbol, chr(153),™, shows up as an inverted '?'.
