PostgreSQL: character with byte sequence 0xc2 0x81 in encoding “UTF8” has no equivalent in encoding “WIN1252”

Question

Getting the below exception while executing SELECT query for a particular row on that table

ERROR:  character with byte sequence 0xc2 0x81 in en         


        

Answer 1

It happened with me in crystal reports...

I changed the content of the column of my view that was generating error...

I discovered that character "0xc2 0x81" is equal "chr(128)" - http://lwp.interglacial.com/appf_01.htm - so i've replaced this character, like this: (replace((mi.complemento)::text, chr(128), 'C'::text))::character varying(400) AS complemento

cheers!
