I doubt that you can fault Postgres. It doesn't need to care about the encoding of contents, other than it must find the end of the string (and the conventions used may depend on the interface and connection settings).
When you say contents of a url, do you mean the url itself, or the page referred to? Your parser is written in what? And what encoding does it use when it talks to Postgres? (Hint: it needs to match the encoding that Django is using.) Have you looked at what byte sequence is in the DB? If you have data in the database which, according to Django's understanding of the DB settings, is invalid, then it's not Django's job to fix it for you. N.B.; There's no guarantee that that web page correctly identified its encoding either.
