I fear that I'm missing something very obvious, but I cannot find a syntax that permits me to use an escaped hexadecimal representation in a CSV file and have that representation interpreted as the equivalent unicode character when inserting into the database. Both client and server are using UTF8 encoding.
For example, trying to insert the 'degree' symbol, I've tried: U&"\00b0" E'\00b0' "\u00b0" In all cases, I simply get the literal string in the table, not the desired unicode character. If I use them in an 'INSERT' statement, it works properly. The problem is almost certainly between the chair and the keyboard, but what am I misunderstanding?
