To insert Chinese characters into NVARCHAR2 columns of a 10.2 or higher database using N'literals' and SQL Developer, go to sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin directory, open the file sqldeveloper.conf and add another AddVMOption line below other such lines:
AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.convertNcharLiterals=true
Note, both SQL Developer's JDBC driver and the database must be at least 10.2. Otherwise, you have to use UNISTR or the Table Data Grid.
