How do you check the output?
If a single character is turned into 2 or 3 characters the issue is
usually that the program which produces the output (in the case of COPY
I think that would be the PostgreSQL server, not the client) produces
UTF-8, but the program consuming it expects an 8-bit character set
(typically windows-1252). See if oyu can tell that program that the file
is in UTF-8.

They probably already are preserved.
