IMHO UTF-8 is absolutely the right thing nowadays. But even if you do not like it, you are welcome to pg_dropcluster the existing instance, and create a new one (man pg_createcluster) using a different default encoding. Or just create a new database with a different encoding.
What do you mean with "prevents you from using other charsets"?
