You can't just pick random combinations of locale and database encoding.
Any given locale setting implies a character set encoding, and you have
to use that same encoding as the database encoding; at least if you want
encoding-dependent operations such as upper()/lower() to work. The
locale you want for Unicode (UTF8) may be named something like
"en_US.utf8". Try "locale -a" to get a list of supported locales.
