OK, you're right: $ echo $LANG [EMAIL PROTECTED] # show client_encoding ; client_encoding ----------------- UTF8 (1 row) But then I wonder why the client encoding is set to UTF-8 ? I did not fiddle at all with this AFAIK, and I guess psql is the one setting this... OTOH, I'm accessing the DB box via ssh, and my local box has: cnagy> echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 So it might be some strange interaction between my local locale, the server's locale and ssh... BTW, I tried if the same problem happens on the server command line (via ssh), and it does (while, for completeness, it works fine on my local box): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date -sh: date: command not found ^ this here is the result of 'ΓΌ + backspace' So I guess this is not postgres related, and therefore off topic for this list...
