I have a personal database of my books, several of which are French with accented characters in their titles. However I am getting inconsistent display of the accent characters depending on the app I am using to access the DB.

When the accents show up OK in psql and phpPgAdmin,
they look like garbage in pgaccess and pgadmin3.
If I correct them in pgaccess and/or pgadmin3,
they look like garbage in psql and phpPgAdmin.

An example:
pgadmin3 shows
[Paris, Odéon-Théâtre de France, 21 Octobre 1963] ; (suivi de) Pas Moi : [Paris, Théâtre d'Orsay, 8 Avril 1975]


while phpPgAdmin renders
[Paris, Od�on-Th��tre de France, 21 Octobre 1963] ; (suivi de) Pas Moi : [Paris, Th��tre d'Orsay, 8 Avril 1975]


-OR- (same database, diff row)
psql (SQL_ASCII enc) has
la dissertation fran?aise aux baccalaur?ats et aux concours

but pgadmin3 sez
la dissertation fran�aise aux baccalaur�ats et aux concours

(dunno how these will travel in email)
The bookcat database is SQL_ASCII. Initdb initted the system (7.4.2 installed by RPM on Fedora Core 1) as en_US.UTF-8.


What should I be checking for in these apps and how can I make them ALL
consistently render the accents correctly?
