If the data you are sending are encoded in WINDOWS-1252 (I assume that
"1952" is just a typo), you should set the client encoding to WIN1252,
so that PostgreSQL knows how to convert the data correctly.
You can do that in several ways; the simplest might be to set the
environment variable PGCLIENTENCODING to WIN1252.
