Hi, The ENCODING parameter converts the character string into UTF-8, so I don't think it will be very helpful if the original string is in UTF-8 already.
Just make sure that the font set that is being used can handle UTF-8 characters. Also, if the data is in a different character set before it was imported into a UTF-8 PostgreSQL db, make sure that the "\encoding" command is used before importing. mario.
