Sorry, the conversion between CP-1250 and Unicode is not currently
supported, nor in 7.2. Actually adding that would be pretty easy, but
we are in the beta freeze phase and can not add a new functionality.

BTW, CP-1250 is equivalent to ISO-8859-2? If so, you could use the
encoding name "LATIN2" instead of WIN1250 and it supports the
converion to/from UNICODE.

> Also, how can I enter a string containing Unicode chars from "psql"? What is the Unicode escape sequence?

No idea. Why not using Unicode aware terminals? I use emacs + mule-ucs.
