postgresql - POSTGRES foreign languages -

i have problem directly inserting foreign characters "ó,č,ĕ,ř" characters database. dont working php frontend sure there no transformation or other encoding. im using logged in psql directly , here setup :

server_encoding ----------------- utf8 (1 row) 

and

client_encoding ----------------- utf8 (1 row) 

database :

   name    |  owner   | encoding |   collate   |    ctype    |      my_db   | postgres | utf8     | en_us.utf-8 | en_us.utf-8 |  

so guess there should no problem.

i created :

create table test (a text); 

and want insert text

insert test (a) ('ó'); 

and there message :

error:  invalid byte sequence encoding "utf8": 0xf327293b 

is there can me please? looks ignoring input encoding or dont know.

edit :

my terminal configuration

lang=en_us.utf-8 language=en_us:en lc_ctype="en_us.utf-8" lc_numeric="en_us.utf-8" lc_time="en_us.utf-8" lc_collate="en_us.utf-8" lc_monetary="en_us.utf-8" lc_messages="en_us.utf-8" lc_paper="en_us.utf-8" lc_name="en_us.utf-8" lc_address="en_us.utf-8" lc_telephone="en_us.utf-8" lc_measurement="en_us.utf-8" lc_identification="en_us.utf-8" lc_all= 

edit2:

my_db=# \encoding utf8 

edit3: psql file

file

file -bi test text/plain; charset=utf-8 

execute

error:  syntax error @ or near "'Ăł'" line 1: insert tes (a) ('Ăł'); 

edit4:

set client_encoding='latin1'; 

this works in psql need works utf8. know possible used setup everytime mysql databases , works charm.

my jdbc driver needs utf8.

edit5:

here doing here : click me

before stored can see - php working fine - , after when read db cant see it. thats because moved closer db psql see whats going on. looks maybe server issue. possible server can't handle characters?

edit6:

tomcat config

 -dfile.encoding=utf8 

uri encoding set utf8 too. can problem? :(

if shell in latin1 encoding, appears comments, fix it:

set client_encoding = 'latin1'; 

if don't want change client's system encoding can change default in postgresql.conf

client_encoding = latin1 

or change php's default character encoding:

default_charset = "utf-8"; 

do in apache, or whatever http server using, config:

adddefaultcharset utf-8
