22021: invalid byte sequence for encoding \"UNICODE\": 0xe16d61"

Hello,

I am not sure if this is a bug or I am doing something wrong. When I execute the following command (insert into a_cadclias values ('6542','65465','amaro','ámaro')) on pgAdmin III Query it works pretty well, but when I try to do the same through a C# App connecting to the database through an ODBC driver I get the following error:

"ERROR: 22021: invalid byte sequence for encoding \"UNICODE\": 0xe16d61"

I know that it has something to do with the word ámaro because when I take the letter á off and replace it with the letter a it works fine.

Bellow goes the table structure:

CREATE TABLE a_cadclias

(

dba_clias_cliente "numeric"(8) NOT NULL,

dba_clias_associado "numeric"(8) NOT NULL,

dba_keyclias_sq "varchar"(8) NOT NULL,

teste "varchar"(10),

CONSTRAINT dba_keyclias_sq PRIMARY KEY (dba_keyclias_sq)

)

WITH OIDS;

Att: It is valid to said that I have also tried the Npgsql dll and got the same error.

Versions tested:

"PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta2 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)"

AND

"PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta4 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC) 3.3.1 (mingw special 20030804-1)"
