Namrata,

If your database code is built with multibyte enabled, you can create a 
database in one of many different character sets including UTF8.  The 
JDBC driver does the correct character set conversions between the 
database character encoding and the UCS2 encoding that Java uses 
internally for Strings.

If you are running 7.1 of Postgres this should all work correctly.

thanks,
--Barry
