I can answer in english if you like.
This error happening also when i'm trying to CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY:
ports=# CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY ruispell (
ports(# TEMPLATE = ispell,
ports(# DictFile = russian,
ports(# AffFile = russian,
ports(# StopWords = russian
ports(# );
ERROR: неверная последовательность байт имя кодировки "UTF8": 0xd1
ПОДСКАЗКА: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not
match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by
"client_encoding".
ports=#
All data in table populated with perl script that read text file in UTF8
and make INSERTs, and i think if there was illegal character, error
would appear after INSERT.
