I think you need to setup locale of the user who inits/runs the cluster (generally "postgres') to unicode in order to init a unicode cluster. Try to set your locale environment variables to for example LANG=xx_XX.UTF-8 (for example "en_US.UTF-8" or whichever on your convenience), then try to create your cluster.
I Have just installed version Postgresql-8.4.0 and when I run initdb -E utf8 it tells me that the current local (LATIN1 or rather LC_CTYPE) cannot accept the utf8. Then when I run initdb with the default local, I cannot create a utf8 database any way (be it in psql or pgadmin3).
Any hint? I use Linux slamd64 12.2 (A Slackware dialect)
