With that same dump file that is displaying incorrectly open in vim, I can paste in the utf8 character I provided as an example and it displays correctly.

I have a database that is utf8 and displays utf8 values correctly in psql. When dumped, it displays the utf8 characters incorrectly. ie. ö turns into Ã
In the header of the dump file, I have:
SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';
So I'm not sure where the disconnect is?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
With what are you viewing the dump file and is everything in the chain (terminal, less/vi/...) set to interpret/display that data as UTF8? You can always use a hex-dump program to see the actual bytes in the file and determine if they are what you expect for UTF8.
