hello to all, thanks for your answers i've changed the encoding using this:
ALTER DATABASE testdb
SET client_encoding = WIN1252;
now when we try to select data from a table we get this error:
ERROR: character with byte sequence 0xe2 0x80 0x8b in encoding "UTF8"
has no equivalent in encoding "WIN1252" SQL state: 22P05ERROR:

That is not surprising as your database has per a previous post from you:
"... postgres 15 and UTF8 with collation
en_US.utf8 ..."
It is entirely possible there are values in the database that have no
corresponding sequence in WIN1252.
At this point you will need to stick to UTF8.
i want to clarify that the postgres on dev is in a docker environment
that already have databases in it so we can't change encoding for the
hole container
thanks in advance

If the data you are sending are encoded in WINDOWS-1252 (I assume that
"1952" is just a typo), you should set the client encoding to WIN1252,
so that PostgreSQL knows how to convert the data correctly.
You can do that in several ways; the simplest might be to set the
environment variable PGCLIENTENCODING to WIN1252.
