Some users are having problems loading <literal>UTF8</> data into
8.1.X. This is because previous versions allowed invalid <literal>UTF8</>
sequences to be entered into the database, and this release
properly accepts only valid <literal>UTF8</> sequences. One
way to correct a dumpfile is to use <command>iconv -c -f UTF8 -t UTF8</>.
This will remove invalid character sequences. <command>iconv</>
reads the entire input file into memory so it might be necessary to
<command>split</> the dump into multiple smaller files for processing.
