Hi everyone, I solved the problem with the special characters (thanks to you all).
I recreated my entire database (luckily I keep scripts for table/index/view creation) and initdb-ed it using --lc-collate=C --encoding=UNICODE. In my psqlODBC DSN settings I added "set client_encoding='LATIN9';" to the Connect Settings and that solved all my problems regarding the special characters. Thanks a lot, everyone!
