If encoding is not specified in the pg_dump command, we get an error as follows.

ERROR: character with byte sequence 0xd0 0x9c in encoding “UTF8”
has no equivalent in encoding “WIN1252”

We edit the command as below and get the dump again.

pg_dump — format=t — encoding=UTF-8 — schema=melek testdb> 
/backup/dump/melek.tar

1 2	pg_dump — format=t — encoding=UTF-8 — schema=melek testdb> /backup/dump/melek.tar

Or the client_encoding is changed.

*We are displaying client_encoding.

testdb=> show client_encoding;
 client_encoding
 — — — — — — — — -
 WIN1252
(1 row)

testdb=> show client_encoding;

client_encoding

— — — — — — — — -

WIN1252

(1 row)

*We set client_encoding to UTF8. After the adjustment, we can successfully dump.

testdb=> SET client_encoding = ‘UTF8’;
SET

1 2	testdb=> SET client_encoding = ‘UTF8’; SET
