I'm getting the following error from a query being generated from MS Access :
character 0xefbfbd of encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in "LATIN9"
Upon reviewing the archives I found the following:

That error suggests that your database encoding is LATIN9, not UTF-8.
You need to change it. Beware that you need the server's locale
settings to be in step, too.

So I ran
tigris=# show server_encoding;
server_encoding
-----------------
UTF8
(1 row)
and
tigris=# show client_encoding;
client_encoding
-----------------
UTF8
(1 row)
What else should I be looking at?
