what you need is Unicode-support in your database and application (often
referred to as UTF-8).
Have a look at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=1&file=multibyte.ht

Postgresql can automagically convert between different encodings, this way
your application does not have to be modified too heavily.
