What kind of client program are you using? If it's psql or something
using libpq, you are likely setting an environment variable
PGCLIENTENCODING to SQL_ASCII. As the message said, Conversion between
UNICODE and SQL_ASCII is not currently supported. You should unset the
variable and use a client program that understands UNICODE (UTF-8).

If your client program is a Java using JDBC, I have no idea at all
since I am not involved into the PostgreSQL JDBC driver.
