With bad data? You can't. Are you sure the original database was UNICODE
(UTF8) and not SQL_ASCII encoding?

Try restoring into an SQL_ASCII version 8.0 database, then you can
correct your data and repeat the dump/import. Alternatively, you could
produce a text-file of the dump and correct it with perl/awk/etc.
