You exactely have the same problem as I have.
And my base is also UNICODE...

Well, are you sure ? With *all* tools, that can be psql or pgdump_all,
everything seems
right, look at an extract of a dump :
6 6 PPN Nigiri mixte t t
7 7 PNS Nigiri saké t t
8 8 PNT Nigiri maguro t t
9 9 PNM Nigiri saké maguro t t
43 43 PSM Petit Nigiri maguro t t
44 44 PSS Petit Nigiri saké t t

As you can see it *works* for a dump.

Are you sure the problem is in the INSERT ?

And let's admit you're right, isn't there a way to do something in the JDBC
driver ?
Or is there a way to correct the database ?
