Thanks Andrew.
On the server (the DB to be dumped) everything is "UTF8".
On my home server (where I would like to mirror the DB), this is the output:
=# \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+-----------------+-----------
postgres | postgres | SQL_ASCII
pkiula | pkiula_pkiula | UTF8
template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
(4 rows)
This is a fresh install as you can see. The database into which I am
importing ("pkiula") is in fact listed as UTF8! Is this not enough?
