Please type as follows.

If your 8 bit characters are displayed correctly, then 
Pgbash can support 8 bit characters. If not, you should 
apply MULTIBYTE patch for the readline or the bash parser.

Of course, PostgreSQL has to be configured with multibyte 
as you know, and it is required that your terminal environment 
can use MULTIBYTE.
