select pg_encoding_to_char(encoding) from pg_database returns UTF8 (for all databases)
I verified that my Java code was compiled using UTF-8 as well, to be sure nothing was lost there.
The problem also shows up when using a JDBC based query tool.
Btw: the same happens with pgAdmin as well.
The above created table will be displayed with an "empty" Name in the pgAdmin tree
