Apparently Win1252 is the not the right encoding to use for your data, as 0x90 is undefined in that encoding. See http://dbaspot.com/forums/ingres-database/414795-re-info-ingres-fw-how-insert-control-charactersintovarcharcolumn.html for someone with the same problem (on Ingres) and links to two different code pages listing the characters therein.
