Thread: Escape sequence for unicode characters

Escape sequence for unicode characters

Hello,

Is there some escape sequence for using unicode characters in command line psql ?
For example in HTML there is e; for the c-cedilla. Is there the same thing
with postgresql ?

Regards.

Unfortunately not, but you can UTF-8 encode it yourself and enter the byte
sequences using the octal escapes (\123).
