Subject: database encoding migration from a pg_dumpall set

Postgresql 14.3 Fedora 36

I have been meaning to move a few databases from an ISO encoding to UTF-8 for a while. I had taken a pg_dumpall dump of
the complete instance and then created a new instance with a UTF-8 encoding and imported the pg_dumpall. The databases
were all imported ok, but still show as LATIN9/ISO... - so presumably the restore from pg_dumpall takes the instruction
for the encoding from the dump records. 
Is there an official way for migrating database encodings?
