Did you revert the change you made earlier to get it to work?

So follow the instructions here :

Notes for Windows Users
psql is built as a “console application”. Since the Windows console
windows use a different encoding than the rest of the system, you must
take special care when using 8-bit characters within psql. If psql
detects a problematic console code page, it will warn you at startup. To
change the console code page, two things are necessary:
Set the code page by entering cmd.exe /c chcp 1252. (1252 is a code
page that is appropriate for German; replace it with your value.) If you
are using Cygwin, you can put this command in /etc/profile.
Set the console font to Lucida Console, because the raster font
does not work with the ANSI code page.
"
In the terminal before running psql do:
cmd.exe /c chcp 1252
