Postgres Encoding conversion problem

Hi,

I sometimes have a problem with conversion of encodings eg from UTF-8
tio ShiftJIS:

ERROR: character 0xf0a0aeb7 of encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in "SJIS"

I have no idea what character this is, I cannot view it in my browser, etc.

If I run the conversion through PHP with mb_convert_encoding it works,
perhaps he is ignoring the character.

Is there a way to do a similar thing, like ignoring this character in
postgres too?
