<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">http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libiconv/documentation/libiconv-1.13/iconv.1.html</div;
<div class="signature"> </div>
<div class="signature">- e.g. the Euro sign is removed when exporting LATIN1 databases to UTF8.</div>
<div class="signature"> </div>
<div class="signature">I'm not sure, but in the past it was different and those characters caused error messages instead.</div>
<div class="signature"> </div>
<div class="signature">So I wonder since when incompatible characters are removed?</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.
