I literally searched for how to create a UTF8 database with zero helpful results. It's all just how to convert it. The few helpful results are just how to copy over a template, which just return syntax errors when I attempt them.

@ethot CREATE DATABASE name ENCODING 'UTF8' template=template0 OWNER user;

@ethot Easier way of dealing with this is to reinstall your OS and before you install Postgres, you change your system locale to UTF8

@matrix I can just yeet postgresql, can't I? Why reinstall the entire OS?

Also, where/how would I change the system locale?
