Dear Hiroshi,

We need this Java Unicode Notation as it is the only one accepted by 
Javascript for example. Furthermore, it is ASCII compatible and therefore 
an alternative when an existing database has ASCII encoding or PostgreSQL 
is not compiled with the right extensions (ex: provider).

At least, I need to be able to convert output to Java Unicode Notation. I 
am learning C and will have a try, but not before a few weeks. This is what 
I say everyday when I wake up: today, I am going to read PostgreSQL 
internals source code.

But, unfortunately, I always have to postpone this step...
Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel POURE
