Problems with encoding

[agustingp]

I am using target-postgres as a loader in my Meltano project. Despite having configured the database encoding as UTF-8 and having set the client_encoding variable to UTF-8, my data is still being stored with encoding errors.

i.e.: Haushaltsger\u00e4te ~ Wasserkocher

If I use other loaders such as target-csv, or target-sqlite this problem does not happen, meaning that the issue is somewhere after the data is read by the tap.

Any help or hints that can help me sort this out?
