Ok. What was I thinking, the "curved single quote" that you talked about is the apostrophe. It makes sense now.
Thanks

Thanks Alvaro. What do I do with a apostrophe (such as I've)?

Well, 0x93 is certainly not an english letter; most likely it's a win1252-encoded curved single quote. That's not
withinthe ASCII definition. You can probably insert the data by declaring
SET client_encoding TO 'win1252'
at the start of the file.
