FWIW, I edited the mappings under
src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode, added the character mappings and rebuilt
postgres to make the characters imported correctly.
Learning more about the problem, it seemed that there is no 100%
standard for mapping certain characters and everyone sort of does them
how they see fit.
