Ok. PostgreSQL does support BIG5 in the *frontend* side.

psql works but JDBC and ODBC does not? The fact that psql is working
tell us that at least BIG5<-->EUC_TW works fine. It seems something
wrong with JDBC and ODBC settings. Unfortunately I'm not a Java or
ODBC expert at all. Sorry...

There's no character code in EUC_TW (CNS 11643-1992) corresponding to
Big5 0xc05c. That's why PostgreSQL complains.
