Re: UTF-8

Thank you.

For now I have recreated  the database and changed the locale of the 
debian system to iso-8859-15 locales and all works immediate correct. 
Perhaps I try your suggestions later. Are you sure your Postgres 
database is also utf-8?

I created the database with iso-8859-15 encoding this way:

CREATE DATABASE <dbname>  LC_COLLATE 'en_US.iso885915' LC_CTYPE 
'en_US.iso885915' ENCODING ISO885915
         TEMPLATE template0;

I did likewise to create the database with utf-8 encoding

  CREATE DATABASE <dbname> LC_COLLATE 'en_US.utf8' LC_CTYPE 'en_US.utf8' 
ENCODING UTF8
         TEMPLATE template0;
