is your source code UTF-8 or is it ISO-8559-3 aka LATIN3 or something ?
you probably need to set your client_encoding according to the charset
used in the source SQL statements.
SET CLIENT_ENCODING='LATIN3';
when you do the inserts, the data will be converted from your
CLIENT_ENCODING to the proper database eencoding which is likely UTF8
per your error... and when you read it back, it will be converted back
to the current CLIENT_ENCODING
since this is a web app, do be sure your CLIENT_ENCODING matches the
mime type of your generated web pages...
