My understanding is that sometimes non-multibyte code will work with
multibyte characters depending on how the app interprets the data. We
saw this in pgAdmin II which could often insert characters like umlauts
into an SQL_ASCII database, which then failed with pgAdmin III which has
full-blown Unicode support and refused to read the 'broken' characters.
In that case the answer was to use Unicode or Latin1 iirc.

All feedback is good :-)
