Thanks Alban, but I'm still confused.
I just read the PostgreSQL manual, and got the impression that UTF8 would take care of ALL character sets, so I put SET
client_encoding= 'UTF8' in the dump file, and reload it again, then I got even more errors like:
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:31430: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x93
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:31795: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x93
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:31826: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x85
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:31827: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:31874: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x93
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:32111: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x93
psql:/tmp/060410finalsr15dump.txt:32112: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92
What is the client encoding that I should set to so that it would take care all character sets?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/multibyte.html
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mary

Apparently Win1252 is the not the right encoding to use for your data, as 0x90 is undefined in that encoding. See
http://dbaspot.com/forums/ingres-database/414795-re-info-ingres-fw-how-insert-control-charactersintovarcharcolumn.html
forsomeone with the same problem (on Ingres) and links to two different code pages listing the characters therein.
