Issue with displaying Greek characters in Oracle 11.1

Question

Hi,
We are having issues with display of Non-English language (for ex Greek) text on Pega-PRPC. The text is stored in a reference table in Oracle DB. However there is not need of translation in PRPC as it has the capability of displaying non-english language also.
I believe that it is a issue with DB settings, although not sure of what is the setting.
Below is the result after running the query: select * from nls_database_parameters
NLS_LANGUAGE     AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY     AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY     $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY     AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS     .,
NLS_CHARACTERSET     AL32UTF8
NLS_CALENDAR     GREGORIAN
NLS_DATE_FORMAT     DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     AMERICAN
NLS_SORT     BINARY
NLS_TIME_FORMAT     HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT     DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT     HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT     DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY     $
NLS_COMP     BINARY
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS     BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP     FALSE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     11.1.0.6.0
Please help.

The first question that needs to be answered is whether the problem is a data storage problem or data presentation problem.
The query below will answer this question.
SELECT ASCIISTR(greek_column) from greek_table where key_id = <specific_value>;
