What is the encoding of the database names in pg_database???

I wish to display the names of all available database on a webpage, but
since each database name is encoded differently, it's not possible.  Is the
solution to go 'set client_encoding to 'utf8' and then do the SELECT?  Is
that smart enough to individually convert each name from each different
encoding?

Thanks,

Chris
