What cannot be represented as UTF-8? UTF-8 can represent every character in the Unicode character set, whereas UTF-16 can encode characters 0 to 0x10FFFF. Does support for alternative multi-byte encodings have something to do with the Han unification controversy? I don't know terribly much about this, so apologies if that's just wrong. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
