Does pgAgent support chinese, japanese characters?

Hi I'm using pgAgent to set up daily or monthly tasks.
I have tables that with the name of Chinese or Japanese. It runs ok in normal sql script, but report non-recognizable in pgAgent SQL jobs.

First guess is that client_encoding is getting set differently in the
pgAgent-initiated sessions than elsewhere, causing incorrect character set
conversions to happen.

I'm using windows server 2008, pgsql 10, and pgAgent 3.4, may there be a way of supporting different languages??

... unfortunately, I don't know anything about how to adjust that
in Windows. A brute-force way would be to issue "set client_encoding"
in your scripts, but there may be a better way.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I tried to set the host/client encoding, however, when I create new tables using Chinese, it reported an encoding error...... also with other queries.....

May I ask encoding of pgAgent? May it reading from a text file? Or I can use notepad++ to convert and then copy??
