Well, there's Unicode and Unicode.  UTF-8 is one representation of
Unicode, but there are a couple others (UCS-2 is the most popular
alternative I think).  But Postgres uses UTF-8, so that doesn't seem
to explain your problem.

I'm baffled, and I suspect the people who do know about this don't read
pgsql-novice.  Try asking on pgsql-general, you might find someone with
a clue ;-)
