	You say it displays correctly in xterm (ie. you didn't see these in your  
xterm).
	There are HTML/XML unicode character entities, probably generated by your  
mailer from your Unicode cut'n'paste.
	Using SQL ASCII to store UTF8 encoded data will work, but postgres won't  
know that it's manipulating multibyte characters, so for instance the  
length of a string will be its Byte length instead of correctly counting  
the characters, collation rules will be funky, etc. And substring() may  
well cut in the middle of an UTF8 multibyte char which will then screw  
your application side processing...
	Apart from that, it'll work ;)
