Are you referring to log file encoding or something else? The log file
is already potentially mixed-encoding, as different databases may have
different encodings and backends just dump bytes to it in their
current encoding.

pg_verify_mbstr() could potentially be used with noError=true if we
can figure out the backend's current encoding, but that indeed sounds
like something to avoid.

Marti
