configure my jbdc drivers to allow accent (é à ç..)

Java is not the issue - it internally uses UNICODE anyway. The JDBC interface
converts UNICODE strings to whatever the encoding of the database is (or
informs the backend accordingly (?).

A US_ASCII Database cannot store LATIN accents. You have to create the
database with an encoding capable of storing these characters. In your case
both LATIN1 and UTF-8 (the most common UNICODE dialect) will do.

    createdb -E LATIN1 your_database_name
