I don't know if this is a bug or my not understanding
something.

I installed 8.1beta4 on a machine (mac os x 10.4.2). I
have my pg_dump file from my running 8.0.3 server in
the office (os x 10.3.9).

I created a cluster with: initdb --encoding-UNICODE
/path/to/dir

then createdb databasename

psql databasename </path/to/pg_dump/file

I get an error:
ERROR: invalid UNICODE byte sequence detected near
byte 0x8e
CONTEXT: COPY ioinfo, line 177, column publication:
"Elle D?cor"
ERROR: invalid UNICODE byte sequence detected near
byte 0xa5
CONTEXT: COPY jobinfo, line 523, column
shortdescription: "RUSH! KA - White lace shirt

this is the top of my pg_dump file:

--
-- PostgreSQL database dump
--

SET client_encoding = 'UNICODE';
SET check_function_bodies = false;
SET client_min_messages = warning;

this is the line in question...
972 SC1511 Elle Décor November '04 f

I don't understand why I am having a problem
importing this datadump.
