Hi, ALL,
Does the list shown in
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/multibyte.html#MULTIBYTE-CHARSET-SUPPORTED
stored somewhere in INFORMATION_SCHEMA?

This wouldn’t be under the purview of information schema.  You can find pg-specific pieces though:


Note the function used to convert ids to names.
 

Or is it hard coded inside the PostgreSQL codebase?

 Yes.  Doesn’t preclude exposing it via SQL but we don’t do so directly.
