You used __  initdb -E UTF8  when you initialized the
cluster? I did this and it works just fine. What
happens when you use pg_dump to dump the database? The
first few lines of the dump will tell you what the
encoding is. Interesting that the docs say that you
can use the createdb -E UTF-8 and have multiple
encodings.

but look at this line from the docs:

Since these locale settings are frozen by initdb, the
apparent flexibility to use different encodings in
different databases of a cluster is more theoretical
than real. It is likely that these mechanisms will be
revisited in future versions of PostgreSQL.


I actually have the problem with a dump and restore.
When I look at the dump file, I see the accented
charcters 'é'. This will not import with psql
databasename <dumpfile. I first have to open the dump
file in bbedit and replace the accented characters
with \203\207 (these are not real numbers). One day I
will figure out why the dump is not happening
correctly.
