I had the same issue using odbc, but .net you can use encodeing = unicode,
so not sure what you are using to do the connection.
Since I am using ODBC with my ASP I had to switch from Unicode to SQL_ASCHII
for my data base.
In effect it tells the database you dont know about the encoding and makes
some of the routines like upper not work properly on extended chars.

Subject: [SQL] psql encoding problem
Hello,
I am trying to insert the following record:
INSERT INTO item (name,retail_price) VALUES ('Cheese Soufflé',7.95,);
(I presume you see the accented character in *Soufflé*)
psql comes back with "invalid byte sequence for encoding "UNICODE": 0xe9"
If I do this via DbVisualizer, the record is inserted fine.
Is there any way around this problem?
