Apparently you will need to implement a UNICODE aware JDBC driver

Subject: Re: [GENERAL] UTF-8 to ASCII

I have a doubt about the function to_ascii() and what the documentation
says.
Basically, I passed my DB from latin1 to UTF-8, and I started getting an
error when using the to_ascii() function on a field of one of my DB [1]:
ERROR: la conversión de codificación de UTF8 a ASCII no está soportada
Well, the to_ascii() documentation says that it only supports LATIN1,
LATIN2, LATIN9, and WIN1250. This is on a footnote.
I do think that there's something strange on the vicinity anyway,
because using convert() expliciting the conversion function gives a
mismatching error for me (local environment is UTF8, as is
client_encoding):
alvherre=# select convert('Martín' using utf8_to_ascii);
ERROR: character 0xc3 of encoding "MULE_INTERNAL" has no equivalent in
"SQL_ASCII"
Why on earth is it talking about MULE_INTERNAL?
