Have a look at http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?multibyte.html What you can do is transform your characters properly to UTF-8 and then insert them as normal having server and client encoding set to UNICODE. What you can also do: Don't transform them to UTF-8, but set your client_encoding to desired value (see the link above) and use the automatic encoding translation between server and client. They will be automagically translated to UNICODE (UTF-8). Regards, Bjoern
Hello: Is that mean just treating the unicode characters as multibyte? How about I insert the unicode data using libpq C library? Do I just insert the unicode characters normally as character (char * query)?? PGresult *PQexec(PGconn *conn, const char *query); Thanks for you help!
