In theory this should be ok assuming the data was inserted with a
suitable client_encoding.

Do you have a sample schema & data that shows this problem so we can
reproduce it? Or can you capture the raw byte-by-byte data given to
decodeUTF8() that causes the problem?

I believe the String constructors *ignore* errors in the incoming data,
replacing them with placeholder characters.

Just to check, your JDBC application is not changing client_encoding, right?
