I see that's how you cast...Yes that worked PERFECTLY. I am always learning 
something new from the list. Thank you VERY much!

I'm surprised you can't just do:

SELECT convert_from(
  decrypt(
    encrypt( 'aéiou'::bytea, 'foo', 'aes' )
    , 'foo', 'aes'
  )
  , 'unicode'
)

You should be able to cast to bytea simply enough. Coming back the other
way, you do need to tell it what encoding you have through convert_from().
