The server just thinks those are 8-bit strings. I guess my
recommendation is that you should go ahead and send UTF8, and if the
user created the non-ASCII name that way, it'll work. (In practice I
think that means he'd have to issue the CREATE DATABASE or CREATE USER
command while logged into a database that uses UTF8 encoding.)
This whole business of per-database encodings is a mess, of course.
