You still have an encoding/decoding issue, so your load sequence is not
occurring under a LATIN1 encoding in this instance. You may want to look
at iconv to convert your source to a more desirable encoding.

However, from your emails it may be that your file is not a normal text
file dump, but a dump file made with the -Fc flags. Please read the
pg_dump manpage, and, if after inspection of the file itself it proves
to be in the custom, compressed format produced by -Fc, you should use
the pg_restore command to restore from this file.
