UTF characters compromising data import. - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to import some data (provided to us from an external source) from a CSV file using "\copy ...."

But I get the following error message;
invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xfd
HINT:  This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is
controlledby "client_encoding". 

I understand the error message - but what I don't know is what I need to set the encoding to - in order to import  /
usethe data. 

As always - thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
