The *encoding* should certainly be referred to as UTF-8. Unicode is a character set, not an encoding; Unicode characters may be encoded with UTF-8, among other things. (One might think of a charset as being a set of integers representing characters, and an encoding as specifying how those integers may be converted to bytes.) > I know UTF8 is a type of unicode but do we need to rename anything > from Unicode to UTF8? I don't know. I'll go through the documentation to see if I can find anything that needs changing. -- ams ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
