How do I use standard ASCII? My legacy app in not compatible with unicode.

You can use the C-locale, see the user manual, section "22.1 Locale Support" for more information:

However, you don't have to use SQL_ASCII in the server, even if you have a legacy app that doesn't grok unicode. The encoding used to communicate with the client can be set on a connection-by-connection basis with the client_encoding setting, and it doesn't have to match the server encoding.
