You'll have to map HKSCS to UNICODE yourself before the data hits
postgresql, and data out of postgresql would be in UNICODE, and up to
you to convert back to HKSCS after retrival. pgsql doesn't have *native*
HKSCS support.
HKSCS is an extension of Big5 right? From the info we have:
http://www.unicode.org/faq/unicode_iso.html
http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/eng/hkscs/download/big5-iso.txt
We might be able to duplicate Big5's code in pgsql to support HKSCS
natively.
I don't have experience with HKSCS nor test materials to attempt it though.
