> h2. EDIT:
> I've found a solution for my specific use case. If I add the argument 
> `encoding="latin1"` to the `DBI::dbConnect` function, then everything works! 
> This issue might still be valid for other cases where Parquet tries to save 
> invalid data though. It would be nice to get an error on write, rather than 
> on read!
> h2. Background
> I am using the R arrow library.
> I am reading from an SQL Server database with the `latin1` encoding using 
> `dbplyr` and saving the output as a parquet file: 
> {code:java}
> # Assume `con` is a previously established connection to the database created 
> with DBI::dbConnect
> tbl(con, in_schema("dbo", "latin1_table")) %>%
>   collect() %>%
>   write_parquet("output.parquet")
> {code}
>  
> However, when I try to read the file back, I get the error "Invalid UTF8 
> payload": 
> {code:java}
> > read_parquet("output.parquet")
> Error: Invalid: Invalid UTF8 payload
> {code}
>  
> What I would really like is a way to tell arrow "This data is latin1 encoded. 
> Please convert it to UTF-8 before you save it as a Parquet file".
> Or alternatively "This Parquet file contains latin1 encoded data".
> h2. Minimal Reproducible Example
> I have isolated this issue to a minimal reproducible example.
> If the database table contains the latin1 single quote character, then it 
> will trigger the error.
> I have attached a `.rds` file which contains an example tibble.
> To reproduce, run the following: 
> {code:java}
> readRDS(file.path(data_dir, "bad_char.rds")) %>% 
> write_parquet(file.path(data_dir, "bad_char.parquet"))
> read_parquet(file.path(data_dir, "bad_char.parquet"))
> {code}
> h2. Possibly related issues
