[postgis-users] Encoding issue in PostGIS/PostgreSQL

[Paul Ramsey]

Isn't this an encoding issue with PgAdmin? shp2pgsql writes out a UTF8  
text file. If you load that UTF8 text file into PgAdmin, and it thinks  
(hypothetically) that all text files is loads are in your local  
encoding, then the result in the window will have some "garbage  
characters".
