Hello,
As you can see, at:
http://www.nodewarrior.org/chris/unicode.png
I am very confused. My database is set to Unicode encoding:
> psql -p 9000 -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+------------------------+-----------
japanese | GENEEDINC+chris.palmer | EUC_JP
template0 | GENEEDINC+chris.palmer | SQL_ASCII
template1 | GENEEDINC+chris.palmer | SQL_ASCII
test | GENEEDINC+chris.palmer | SQL_ASCII
unicode | GENEEDINC+chris.palmer | UNICODE
I'm using Pg 7.3.2 and pg73jdbc3.jar.
According to *The Java Programming Language, Third Edition* (p. 138), "...you can use the escape sequence \uxxxx to
encodeUnicode characters, where each x is a hexadecimal digit...". Therefore, shouldn't I see "262f 0b87" in the hex
editor?It seems I'm not getting the same stuff out that I am putting in. psql is not much help; it just shows wacky
characters(4 of them: "â¯à®").
Am I doing something wrong? Does something need to be set in the database or in the JDBC Connection object? Or am I
justa confused monkey?
Thanks in advance for any clues!
