Bug reference:      2149
Logged by:          Abigail Corrigan
Email address:      abigail.corrigan@pnl.gov
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.1
Operating system:   linux
Description:        can not enter ÂµM into a varchar field in version 8.1.1
Details:

I get an error when trying to insert ÂµM into a varchar field in version
8.1.1 but it was working in version 7.4.  The error leads me to think that
there is a different encoding on the dose_units field in the new database.
How do we encode the special character "Âµ" into a varchar field for version
8.1.1?

The error message is as follows:
Invalid UTF-8 byte sequence detected near byte 0xb5

Thanks!
