You should use ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8851-15 encodings to make those characters
"displayable" :)
It depends on your "front-end". (for java, you only have to specify
"?charSet=ISO-8859-15" at the end of the URL to be given to the JDBC driver)

For the browser issue, you can switch between charsets with the META tag in the "<head>" section. Exemple : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> "Jean-Christophe ARNU (JX)" wrote: > Le Tue, 31 Dec 2002 14:47:42 +0530 > "Somasekhar Bangalore" <sbangalore@zensutra.com> me disait que : > > > Hi, > > > > I have a postgres database running linux platform.The database has been > > enabled for multibyte support -works fine for Japanese,Spanish,German.
