Thanks Giulio and Gabriele,
as Giulio pointed out, it seems like the destination database is in
LATIN1 encoding, rather than UTF8. Could you please confirm this?
That was the case. I deleted one of the databases and recreated it with
as a UTF-8 encoded database and the import went well.
Question: Can I change the encoding system of an existing database? If
so, how?
You can re-encode a dump (see pg_dump's -E flag) then reload it into a
new database with the new encoding. This will only work if the source
database contains only characters that exist in the target encoding.
You can't change the encoding of a database in-place.
