I have written a test program using postgres that creates a string with a surrogate pair.  I then insert that string into a varchar property in a table.

I then execute a select statement to pull the string out.  But when I evaluate the string the lead char of the pair is correct, but the following pair value is mangled.  I run this exact same code using DB2 and it works just fine.

Is this a postgres limitation, or is there a specific way surrogate pairs need to be handled?

Thanks,
