ORA-39346: data loss in character set conversion for object SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/COMMENT

In Unicode AL32UTF8, special characters, invalid characters might cause errors like “ORA-39346: data loss in character set conversion”.

When importing a schema exported from one 12cR1 AL32UTF8 database to another database  with same AL32UTF8 characterset, this ORA -error was generated :

ORA-39346: data loss in character set conversion for object SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/COMMENT

The error message clearly shows the problem data is from “SCHEMA_EXPORT/TABLE/COMMENT”.

Using MDU tool ( Database  Migration Assistant for Unicode ) to scan database Dictionary Objects, we can see the problem data is from SYS.COM$.
