Hello,
I have been beating my head on the wall for several days now trying to
figure out how to fix this issue. I am trying to import several large
shapefiles into PostGIS using shp2pgsql, however I keep getting the
following error:
psql:shapefile.sql:133787: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding
"UTF8": 0xa8
HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match
the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by
"client_encoding".
The database is set to UTF8 and a search on google has not turned up
much. The DB server is running on Win2k.
I am rather stumped since I have no idea if this is an issue on the
server side, with the shapefile or with shp2pgsql.
I have no idea how to solve this and was wondering if someone would be
gracious enough to nudge me in the right direction here?
Many thanks in advance.
