Dunno who's responsible for that code initially ;-)

Anyway.
GetACP() returns the "current ANSI codepage for the system".
GetConsoleCP() "retrieves the input code page used by the console"

The console by default uses what's caled the OEM charset. I assume GetACP() returns the default charset for *non-console* programs.

And no, I don't know exactly why that matters in the case of psql. I've always been able to "fix" thing by just changing the font to Lucida console. But I only use very few characters that are affected by this (åäö only).
