OK, so you are not using Unicode. I don't know much about the SQL_ASCII
charset, but I expect it to slightly differ from LATIN1. Type
SET client_encoding = LATIN1;
in psql, then SELECT some data containing the chars you have problems
with and see if it is fixed. If not, INSERT a new row with such chars
from psql, SELECT that row again and if the chars look right now, your
other rows are stored invalid in the datebase and you need to convert
them somehow.
