Re: Invalid EUC_TW character sequence found

Not all chinese characters can not be input to the application, only some of
them,

2002-06-26 11:12:32 - SQL (test): INSERT INTO "site" ("name") VALUES ('¬ü¥úµó')

2002-06-26 11:14:42 - SQL (test): INSERT INTO "site" ("name") VALUES ('¦r')

From the above, I inserted three rows to the table using the pgAdmin II , the
first two without any problem except the last one.  I even confirm these input
with the psql on the server side.  Same result applies the above problem.

To me, the third insert is a character that display correctly in my application,
I do not see any problem.  And I do not know and can not tell how to check that
'¦r' is not a correct ECU_TW character.   Please give me some hint for checking,
thanks!!
