test=# select format('%I', t) from t1; format
----------aaa"AAA""あいう"
(3 rows)
Why is the text value of the third line needed to be double quoted?
(note that it is a multi byte character). Same thing can be said to
quote_ident().
We treat identifiers made of the multi byte characters without double
quotation (non delimited identifier) in other places.
test=# create table t2(あいう text);
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into t2 values('aaa');
INSERT 0 1
test=# select あいう from t2;あいう
--------aaa
(1 row)
