Hello,
 
it seems ( for quite some time now ) that PostgreSQL is using the -c option of iconv when exporting data to a different encoding:
http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libiconv/documentation/libiconv-1.13/iconv.1.html
 
- e.g. the Euro sign is removed when exporting LATIN1 databases to UTF8.
 
I'm not sure, but in the past it was different and those characters caused error messages instead.
 
So I wonder since when incompatible characters are removed?
 
Could someone tell me, please?
 
Thank you very much!
 
Peter
