The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 17115
Logged by: Mike Lawrence
Email address: mike.lawrence@dell.com
PostgreSQL version: 13.3
Operating system: Windows 10 1909
Description:

When I use the psqlODBC Unicode(x64) driver for importing data into Power
BI, all three of my Boolean fields are incorrectly identified as type Text.
I am using Unicode because of differing code pages and the inability to
translate between them with the ANSI(x64) driver. This does not happen when
I have a direct connection in Power BI with a copy of the database, as it
correctly identifies the field as Boolean.
