PostgreSQL supports a number of different character sets in the
client, including UTF8, BIG5, EUC_CN, EUC_TW, GBK, and GB18030. Of
these EUC_CN, EUC_TW, and UTF8 can be used as database (server)
encodings. I don't believe there are any datatype-specific issues you
would need to worry about. For more information, see:

Hope this helps.
