Hi,

I am using Windows as a development environment (and database design),
and it seems that Unicode is not supported on Win32.



Yes, the problem is that we only support UTF-8 and the Win32 collation
routines only support UTF-16. You can actually use UTF-8 if you don't
care about ordering of the character set, but pginstaller doesn't
support those options --- you have to run initdb manually.


I know this is the wrong list for it, but here are some thoughts about solutions:
1. Convert to UTF-16 - Windows give you builtin functions to do that.
2. Use another library set (ICU?)
