I guess you are inserting correct EUC Traditional
Chinese (EUC-TW)
characters but hard to tell what is happening unless
you are showing
us the character sequences in hexa decimal format.

Many thanks! Tatsuo,

Are you sure that they are EUC-TW? Considering the byte swapping, they
are actually like this:

0x31,0x31,0x31,0x31,0x0a,
0xa6,0xa8,0xa5,0x5c,0x0a,
0xb3,0x5c,0x0a,
0x32,0x32,0x32,0x32,0x0a

Here we see a55c and b35c, which should never happen in EUC-TW, since
the each second byte is lower than 0x80.
I guess they are BIG5. If my guess is correct, you could set the
client encoding to BIG5 ("\encoding BIG5" in psql) and get correct
result.

Hello! Tatsuo,

Please pardon my ignorance! I did not understand the
basic concept: the client encoding being different
from server encoding.

It works perfectly after I rest my client from EUC_TW
and MULE_INTERNAL to BIG5.
