* Unicode problem inserting records - Invalid UNICODE character sequence found (0xfc7269)

My first time using unicode. Based on reading other messages I think I've
got it all setup correctly but still have prob.
Running: psql 7.3.6-RH
$ psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+----------+-----------
devdb | devuser | UNICODE
template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII
I've tried two different table structures:
CREATE TABLE airport_code (
airport_name character varying(70),
airport_code character varying(10),
) ;
and the same but with "text" instead of character varying.
For both I get the same results when I try to:
INSERT INTO airport_code ( airport_name, airport_code ) values ( 'Zurich
(Zürich) - Kloten', 'ZRH' ) ;
I get:
psql:airport_codes.sql:1728: ERROR: Invalid UNICODE character sequence
found (0xfc7269)
Obviously I'd like to keep the proper German spelling.
What am I missing?
Gotta figure its me...cause PG is so damm good otherwise.
Tx,
D

What is your client encoding? (look into "show client_encoding",
"\encoding" in the "Localization" chapter of the manuals)

show client_encoding gives:
UNICODE
databases reads:
DATABASE OWNER ENCODING
mydb david UNICODE
testdb david SQL_ASCII
table columns are character varying(255)

OK - with the same settings here, I start psql and do:
\i unicode_import_test.txt
I get:
CREATE TABLE
t
---------
AAA
À È Ð Ø
ZZZ
(3 rows)
In case this gets garbled by my email, the middle line contains four
accented characters, with accents as follows: A` E` D- O/
Actually, this doesn't display properly in my usual terminal (konsole
under KDE) but does under xterm.

Hi, David,

So is the data you send also encoded in unicode?
Maybe "set client_encoding latin1" or "\encoding latin1" helps.
HTH,
markus
