http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/app-psql.html
"If at least one of standard input or standard output are a terminal,
then psql sets the client encoding to "auto", which will detect the
appropriate client encoding from the locale settings (LC_CTYPE
environment variable on Unix systems). If this doesn't work out as
expected, the client encoding can be overridden using the environment
variable PGCLIENTENCODING."
