I was going to ask the same thing. Per
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/multibyte.html#id-1.6.10.5.7,
every characterset except SQL_ASCII can be converted to UTF-8, so we only
need to test that UTF-8 and some other charactersets besides SQL_ASCII
work, and then separately that SQL_ASCII with characters known not to be in
UTF-8 work.
