Sorry I forgot to say I am running an Italian php website with a
postgresql DB. Users can write messages eachothers.
This is my code:
$connessione_db = pg_connect("dbname=xxxxx user=yyyyy
password=zzzzzz");
$sql_insert_messaggio="insert into messaggio (text) values ('àèì');";
pg_exec ($connessione_db,$sql_insert_messaggio);

and I get that error. If I do not write messages with accents
everything works.

Is there a way to insert accents with any kind of encoding?

is your source code UTF-8 or is it ISO-8559-3 aka LATIN3 or something ?

you probably need to set your client_encoding according to the charset used in the source SQL statements.

    SET CLIENT_ENCODING='LATIN3';

when you do the inserts, the data will be converted from your CLIENT_ENCODING to the proper database eencoding which is likely UTF8 per your error... and when you read it back, it will be converted back to the current CLIENT_ENCODING

since this is a web app, do be sure your CLIENT_ENCODING matches the mime type of your generated web pages...
