Yes I am running psql on Centos.
My psql client won't accept the German characters whether or not I attempt to type them or paste them.

So you are using psql on the Centos machine?
I have the same locale as you, on my Linux machine, and using Pavels example I
get:
test(5432)aklaver=>create table x(a text); CREATE TABLE test(5432)aklaver=>insert into x values('ä,ß,ö'); INSERT 0 1
test(5432)aklaver=>SELECT* from x ;
a
-------
ä,ß,ö
(1 row)
What happens when you do the above on your machine?
