I should be ashamed for asking this, but would someone care to tell me
how encoding differs from locale?

My postgresql FreeBSD rcNG script reads:

postgresql_initdb_flags=${postgresql_initdb_flags:-"--encoding=utf-8
--lc-collate=C"}

As I understand it collation is part of locale, but encoding is
"something else"?

Thanks.
