Do you have a suggestion how to fix this? I'm not that deep into PostgreSQL.

I think you should convert the strings received form PostgreSQL in code page 1250 to UTF-8 before displaying them in the grid.
If you are using Delphi look at: https://riptutorial.com/delphi/example/19512/encodings.

Just remember to convert the strings from the UPDATE and INSERT statements to the correct code page.
