+ The character set support in <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ allows you to store text in a variety of character sets (also called
+ encodings), including
+ single-byte character sets such as the ISO 8859 series and
+ multiple-byte character sets such as <acronym class="acronym">EUC</acronym> (Extended Unix
+ Code), UTF-8, and Mule internal code. All supported character sets
+ can be used transparently by clients, but a few are not supported
+ for use within the server (that is, as a server-side encoding).
+ The default character set is selected while
+ initializing your <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> database
+ cluster using <code class="command">initdb</code>. It can be overridden when you
+ create a database, so you can have multiple
+ databases each with a different character set.
+ </p><p>
+ An important restriction, however, is that each database's character set
+ must be compatible with the database's <code class="envar">LC_CTYPE</code> (character
+ classification) and <code class="envar">LC_COLLATE</code> (string sort order) locale
+ settings. For <code class="literal">C</code> or
+ <code class="literal">POSIX</code> locale, any character set is allowed, but for other
+ libc-provided locales there is only one character set that will work
+ correctly.
+ (On Windows, however, UTF-8 encoding can be used with any locale.)
+ If you have ICU support configured, ICU-provided locales can be used
+ with most but not all server-side encodings.

+ Not all client <acronym class="acronym">API</acronym>s support all the listed character sets. For example, the
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ JDBC driver does not support <code class="literal">MULE_INTERNAL</code>, <code class="literal">LATIN6</code>,
+ <code class="literal">LATIN8</code>, and <code class="literal">LATIN10</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ The <code class="literal">SQL_ASCII</code> setting behaves considerably differently
+ from the other settings. When the server character set is
+ <code class="literal">SQL_ASCII</code>, the server interprets byte values 0–127
+ according to the ASCII standard, while byte values 128–255 are taken
+ as uninterpreted characters. No encoding conversion will be done when
+ the setting is <code class="literal">SQL_ASCII</code>. Thus, this setting is not so
+ much a declaration that a specific encoding is in use, as a declaration
+ of ignorance about the encoding. In most cases, if you are
+ working with any non-ASCII data, it is unwise to use the
+ <code class="literal">SQL_ASCII</code> setting because
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> will be unable to help you by
+ converting or validating non-ASCII characters.

+ <code class="command">initdb</code> defines the default character set (encoding)
+ for a <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> cluster. For example,
+
+</p><pre class="screen">
+initdb -E EUC_JP
+</pre><p>
+
+ sets the default character set to
+ <code class="literal">EUC_JP</code> (Extended Unix Code for Japanese). You
+ can use <code class="option">--encoding</code> instead of
+ <code class="option">-E</code> if you prefer longer option strings.
+ If no <code class="option">-E</code> or <code class="option">--encoding</code> option is
+ given, <code class="command">initdb</code> attempts to determine the appropriate
+ encoding to use based on the specified or default locale.
+ </p><p>
+ You can specify a non-default encoding at database creation time,
+ provided that the encoding is compatible with the selected locale:
+
+</p><pre class="screen">
+createdb -E EUC_KR -T template0 --lc-collate=ko_KR.euckr --lc-ctype=ko_KR.euckr korean
+</pre><p>
+
+ This will create a database named <code class="literal">korean</code> that
+ uses the character set <code class="literal">EUC_KR</code>, and locale <code class="literal">ko_KR</code>.
+ Another way to accomplish this is to use this SQL command:
+
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+CREATE DATABASE korean WITH ENCODING 'EUC_KR' LC_COLLATE='ko_KR.euckr' LC_CTYPE='ko_KR.euckr' TEMPLATE=template0;
+</pre><p>
+
+ Notice that the above commands specify copying the <code class="literal">template0</code>
+ database. When copying any other database, the encoding and locale
+ settings cannot be changed from those of the source database, because
+ that might result in corrupt data. For more information see
+ <a class="xref" href="manage-ag-templatedbs.html" title="23.3. Template Databases">Section 23.3</a>.
+ </p><p>
+ The encoding for a database is stored in the system catalog
+ <code class="literal">pg_database</code>. You can see it by using the
+ <code class="command">psql</code> <code class="option">-l</code> option or the
+ <code class="command">\l</code> command.
