Very much so --- they aren't safe ASCII-supersets, and thus for example
the parser will fail on them.  Backend encodings must have the property
that all bytes of a multibyte character are >= 128.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
