Tino,
Thanks for the information. I already have a database with SQL_ASCII encoding. Is there any way that I can change the encoding to UNICODE.
The only way I know is pg_dump and dropdb, createdb and pg_restore.

Does Postgresql 7.2.1 support double byte characters?
If yes is then how to define fields that will contain double byte characters?
Although you could define your own type, you can use the database with UNICODE encoding (during creation) then all text/char fields are utf8
This works pretty well for all languages.
Hoever there are also different encodings available, I dont know how it is with chinese or such. But probably its mapped internally to utf8 anyway.
