Well exactly that. What information is missing?

There is a parameter on createdb command line
(As well as CREATEDB command in SQL) which
needs to be set to unicode.

Hint: to get collation right, you might want to
initdb first (with empty $PGDATA) with correct
locale settings (including charset UTF-8 which will
then be the default encoding for all subsequent
created databases.
