Are you testing the ANSI version driver ?
If so, please set the *Connect  Settings* option like
        set client_encoding to 'XXXX'
  (XXXX e.g. SQL_ASCII, LATIN1 etc).

You can see the example (SJIS case) at
   http://www.geocities.jp/inocchichichi/psqlodbc/encoding.jpg .

However I'm not sure if you can see LATIN1 specific characters using
Japanese machine.
