We've got a .NET application that's trying to move data from an old MySQL 
database to a shiny new Postgres db, but we keep getting this error: 
invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf66a6e69
 
The MySQL table is using "latin1 -- cp1252 West European" and the Postgres 
server is using UTF8.  We're narrowed the problem down to the special 
characters in what appears to be some Swedish text (hopefully they'll make the 
transition to email):
 
Onormal höjning av kroppstemperaturen, oftast till följd av något 
sjukdomsförlopp. (MeSH Swedish) 
 
This may actually be more of a .NET string conversion issue, but I wanted to 
check and make sure there's not some obvious database angle we're missing.  
Does anyone have any experience with or insight into these sorts of string 
compatibility issues?
 
Thanks!
Ryan
