It's a PostgreSQL and no UTF problem, because standard PostgreSQL text functions doesn't know something about arguments encoding and for this functions cannot use another (an example UTF's lower/upper) method for a work with strings. Maybe a little extend internal "text" datatype and like VARSIZE() use VARENCODING().
