We presently have an oracle database instance with the database
characterset as (CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1).
But Now we have to migrate our database to a KOREAN
representation which is a multibyte (2 bytes per character) . We
tried by creating the database with the following database character
and national character set configuration :
CHARACTER SET as KO16KSC5601 and NATIONAL CHARACTER SET as KO16KSC5601 .

In the initialization parameter file , we set the NLS_LANGUAGE =
KOREAN ,and NLS_TERRITORY = KOREA

In the SQL plus session through KOREAN WINDOWS SYSTEM , with this
setup , We tried manipulating values for the given table structure with
DEFINE NLS_LANG = KOREAN_KOREA.KO16KSC5601 .

When we try to INSERT korean string composed of two characters
into a table having a column of datatype CHAR(2), it is giving an
error message "ORA - 01401 Inserted Value too large for a column" .

So could you please give any better solution , where I need not
have to undergo changes in the existing database design .
