Hi, my database is setup with encoding= win1252. In order to go to utf8 I run the followed query:

update pg_database set encoding= pg_char_to_encoding('utf8') where datname= 'Handyman'

The problem is that, the database has already got data with special characters such as "àòèé". After having executed the query to change the encoding to utf8, I can't read the special caracters.
Is there a way to change the encoding and to migtrate the data?

Best regards.
