What I did:

1. Google "PostgreSQL create database"
2. Click the first link - to PostgreSQL documentation.
3. The command have many options. One of them is "Encoding".
4, Scrolled down for an explanation. The explanation had a link.
5. Clicked the link. Received a page with the list of encodings.

At this point I asked the original question
Does the list on that page stored somewhere? Or it is hardcoded inside
the sources?

That's when I started receiving a references to that table.

Did I ask the wrong question?

Thank you.
