Bummer. So there's no one encoding I can set it to :( Actually, since the
phpPgAdmin interface only allows the creation of databases via the create
database screen, could we just always set it to the encoding of template1?
How do I get the encoding of the server? Is that the same as the encoding
of template1?

I would suggest force Unicode...
