You should really upgrade to the most recent 9.6 version of PostgreSQL.

Can you be more specific regarding exactly what you're seeing? What
does "special characters" here mean, what's happening?

You might want to consider using Kerberos when integrating with an AD
environment from PostgreSQL, which would certainly avoid this issue.
You can see the PostgreSQL documentation for that here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/gssapi-auth.html
and I wrote up a blog post to try and help make it easier for people
which covers the Windows AD setup side of things and how you go about
actually getting a keytab and such here:

Thanks!
