How would your hypothetical script know to convert Internationalization back to Ïntêrnatïônàlîzâtion instead of Internätiönälizätiön?

If you want to save your data as Unicode data, you'll have to look at how your database driver (likely DBD::Oracle) stores character data in a character set encoding. You will also have to make your whole processing pipeline from input to storage and back to output respect that encoding. If you want to use ASCII-encoded data to search for your other encoded data, you will have to add a second column to your data table in which you store the asciification.
