Can you explain what you expected to happen here? Did you, for example, expect
the character with Unicode code point 146 to be inserted? Because the single
byte 146 isn't a valid UTF8 character.

In PostgreSQL 8.2 I don't think there's any function to generate an arbitrary
Unicode code point. You'll have to do that on the client end and encode it in
UTF8 before sending. In PostgreSQL 8.3 chr() will in fact be modified to do
this.
