What character is at position 369? make sure it is valid unicode...
Is there a simple way to tell solr to accept UTF8 characters?
Solr can accept UTF8 characters... check the utf8-example.xml example in
exampledocs.
If you can put the character at position 369 into "utf8-example.xml" and
post it successfully (using post.sh or post.jar) then I suspect however
you are posting the xml is not encoding the stream properly.
