Strange; I have the same settings and it works here.

Could you run the following queries and compare with my results:

test=> select ascii(c) from chartest;
 ascii 
-------
   225
(1 row)

test=> select encode(convert_to(c,'LATIN9'),'hex') from chartest;
 encode 
--------
 e1
(1 row)

test=> select ascii(to_ascii(encode(convert_to(c,'LATIN9'),'escape'),'LATIN9'))  from chartest;
 ascii 
-------
    97
(1 row)

Yours,
