As of PostgreSQL 7.2+, --enable--recode provides:
- Unicode <-> Latin1/Latin15 recoding,
- Unicode <-> SJIS (=Japanese Multibyte),
- and much more...

Client and server encodings can be set separately. Examples:
- CREATE DABASE foo WITH ENCODING 'Unicode';
- SET CLIENT_ENCODING = 'Latin9' (=ISO-8859-15) = Latin1 + euro symbol.

In pgAdmin2, we plan to take advantage of these new features to :
- change client encoding on the fly,
- display multi-byte text.

Cheers,
