Anyone can tell me does PostgreSQL support chinese word?
Which encoding or datatype or anything else should i know if i want to store the chinese word.

PostgreSQL supports a number of different character sets in the client, including UTF8, BIG5, EUC_CN, EUC_TW, GBK, and GB18030. Of these EUC_CN, EUC_TW, and UTF8 can be used as database (server) encodings. I don't believe there are any datatype-specific issues you would need to worry about. For more information, see:

Hope this helps.
