In psql, do a \l on both the original and the DB you're restoring to.
The encoding should be the same, if it's not, then fix that before
restoring. If you're using pg_dump (which you don't mention ... it's
getting difficult to follow what you're doing in this thread) then
you can also use the -C option to have pg_dump add a CREATE DATABASE
statement to the dump file for you.
If you actually want to switch database encodings, that's an entirely
different question thread unto itself.
