I've just installed that locale on my system (Debian Sarge). However I'm
still getting the error. I only set the locale for that user, could it
be that the locale needs to be set to UTF8 system wide? Here's the output:
postgres@mrnaz:~$ locale
LANG=en_AU.UTF8
LANGUAGE=en_AU.UTF8:en_US.UTF8:en_GB.UTF8:en.UTF8

LC_COLLATE=en_AU.UTF8

LC_NAME=en_AU.UTF8
LC_ADDRESS=en_AU.UTF8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_AU.UTF8

LC_ALL=
postgres@mrnaz:~$ createdb twerl -E utf8
