The value of client_encoding from your select on pg_settings is SQL_ASCII. The docs clearly state: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/runtime-config-client.html "Sets the client-side encoding (character set). The default is to use the database encoding. " If you don't have client_encoding explicitly, then it is using the database encoding.
