Yes, the documentation of the COPY command. The essence is that if you use
the default delimiter (tab), you need to put a backslash before each tab,
newline and backslash in each of the text fields. Oh, and null fields
should be converted to \N.

It's all in the docs. Why don't you try to copy some of the rows into a
temporary table, and dump that table using pg_dump -a -t table_name dbname?
It may give you a clue.
