<p>IIRC, postgres/gis tables are UTF-8 by default. That's probably
the best option to use to avoid hassles, and to be more stable
long-term.<br>
</p>
<p>If you are having problems, I suspect that the issue is what
encoding your source data was/is in, and what process you used to
import it.</p>
<p>Can you do it again? What process did you use? Do you know what
encoding it was in?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to create a spatial layer in
GoeServer using postgis. The problem is that there are a few
special characters in the name column (rivers and streams in
New Mexico). In Zuni river, for example, the N has a tilde
character over it. So the labels are all wonky.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What Encoding and Collation would prevent
this? I tried WIN1252 and English_United States.1252, but
that prevented me from installing the ogr_fdw extension, and
that seemed to preclude the use of UpdateGeometrySRID(), which
I need.<o:p></o:p></p>
