show client_encoding displays the encoding to which the server currently is
converting. With set client_encoding to UNICODE; you can change the
client_encoding on the fly and check if the results becomes better. I am not
sure how to adjust the client_encoding in pgAdmin so that this will be set at
startup automtically. There is a default client_encoding stored in the server
as well but there you have to check if it interfers with your other
interfaces.
Best regards
