Your character converts to char DBB8. According to the standard, characters in the range D800-DFFF are not characters but surrogates. They don't mean anything by themselves and are thus rejected by postgres. http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#30 This character should be preceded by a low surrogate (D800-DBFF). You should combine the two into a single 4-byte UTF-8 character. Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > From each according to his ability.
