So long as you use pg_dump from PG 9 to dump the PG 8 databases, you'll be fine.
en_GB.UTF-8 will be fine (and is probably preferred). From: Gary Stainburn <gary.stainburn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Centos 7 / Postgresql 9.6 system. I'm just going though the config files to check that everything is okay and I've found a discrepency regarding language settings. I realise things have progressed a lot since 2008 when I built this server, so I wonder what is the right thing to do moving forward. The old system has # These settings are initialized by initdb, but they can be changed. lc_messages = 'en_GB' # locale for system error message strings lc_monetary = 'en_GB' # locale for monetary formatting lc_numeric = 'en_GB' # locale for number formatting lc_time = 'en_GB' # locale for time formatting while the new system has lc_messages = 'en_GB.UTF-8' # locale for system error message strings lc_monetary = 'en_GB.UTF-8' # locale for monetary formatting lc_numeric = 'en_GB.UTF-8' # locale for number formatting lc_time = 'en_GB.UTF-8' # locale for time formatting Am I best changing the new system to match the old one? If I leave the settings as they are, enabling the utf-8, how will it affect a) the pg_dumpall / pg_recover process b) using the database moving forward? Gary
