<div>it seems ( for quite some time now ) that PostgreSQL is using the -c option of iconv when exporting data to a different encoding:</div>

<div class="signature">I'm not sure, but in the past it was different and those characters caused error messages instead.</div>

PostgreSQL doesn't use iconv at all.

Hello Peter,
sure? The Windows versions of PostgreSQL ( 8.4 - 9.2 ) have an iconv.dll in their bin folder.
I should test the behaviour on Linux then.
With best regards,
Peter

That might be because it's a dependency of gettext.
