OK, I narrowed down the problem to the WIN1252 encoding.
Using LATIN1 or LATIN9 for instance works correctly.
Since my application seems to work with LATIN9, I'll go with it.
I am still perplex though. What is this 0xc29f character ? An internet
search tells me that this is some Kanju character. I am quite confident
that if this is true, it would not convert any better to LATIN9 than to
WIN1252.
Also, doing a search like :
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE upper(myflied) ILIKE u&'%c29f%';
Gives me 0 result.
Am I wrong to think that the error 'character 0xc29f of UTF8' relates to
the character with code point C29F in UTF8 ?
Thanks again for your help/lightings on this matter.
Arnaud
