the Client Encoding is UTF8.
Strangely I no longer get the second error:
ERROR: invalid UTF-8 byte sequence detected near byte 0xf9
The first error returned:
# SELECT lower('ש');
ERROR: invalid multibyte character for locale
HINT: The server's LC_CTYPE locale is probably incompatible with the
database encoding.
The character that I sent is:
[ש] U+05E9 ש HEBREW LETTER SHIN
Im out of ideas, What else I should check ?
