Postgresql 9.4.4 - ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92

Hi,

I have posted a question about this same issue on JDBC thinking it is a driver issue. I was told this error is generated by the back-end itself rather than by the driver so posting the question in
admin forum. See discussion on this here http://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-jdbc/since/201508080000/

I am currently running 9.1.9 and trying to upgrade to 9.4. I have done a dump and restore, when I start my java application I am getting the below error. The server uses SQL_ASCII encoding and the
client encoding is UTF8. There are some invalid characters in the database but this has not caused a problem in the current version or 9.3 (tried a restore in 9.3 and the application works fine).

ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92
STATEMENT: SELECT * FROM client_data WHERE status_code = 0 ORDER BY client_name, description

Same error with postgresql-9.4-1201.jdbc4.jar & postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4.jar.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
