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?

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.
