PostgreSQL version: 17.6
Operating system: Windows 11
Description:
Environment
PostgreSQL: 17.6
psql: 17.6
Windows 11
Official EnterpriseDB installer
UTF-8 console (code page 65001)
server_encoding = UTF8
client_encoding = UTF8
Description
When running \d <table> in Russian localization, the output sometimes
contains random garbage Unicode characters immediately after the localized
header "По умолчанию".
Example:
Таблица "public.articles"
Столбец | Тип | Правило сортировки | Допустимость NULL | По умолчанию
⫐鄢ʧ
The garbage characters change every execution.
Switching the locale to English:
set LANG=C
completely eliminates the problem.
The issue reproduces even when starting psql with:
psql -X
so it does not appear to be related to user configuration.
Expected behavior:
No extra characters after the localized header.
Actual behavior:
Random Unicode garbage appears after "По умолчанию" on every invocation.
