My point was, the database does not have to be in LATIN2 (so remove
the encoding=latin2 part). If you leave the database in UTF-8 but do
the command I suggested

Then everything will work like it used to and you will be able to load
your dump without problems.

If you really truly want to change the encoding you have to
reinitialise the whole cluster. Delete the directory and reinitdb.

Have a nice day,
