I am assuming you are talking about the C API (and not the C++ API of 
Firebird 3). You need to add a database parameter buffer item of 
isc_dpb_lc_ctype (== 48) with the name of the character set as its value 
(NOTE: strings are prefixed by the length of the string)

See also Creating and populating a DPB on page 44 and on of the 
Interbase 6.0 API Guide.

[firebird-support] Firebird c++ API connect encoding

Hello,

Can someone advice on how to set the encoding of the connection with Firebird 
C++ API isc_attach_database call.
I want to set it to ISO8859_1 but cant find an example.

Thanks,
Hugo

Firebird doesn't have a C++ API, it has a C API and there are third
party libs like IBPP.

For the C API you'd need to set the isc_dbp_lc_ctype parameter when
connecting (see the API Guide[0])

IBPP has a parameter on it IBPP::DatabaseFactory function.
