BUG #4257: about unicode extend

I don't believe this is actually an 8.3 server. In 8.1 or later that
encoding would be referred to as "UTF8"; also, 8.1 and later would show
all bytes of the complained-of character not just the first one.

8.0 and before only support 16-bit Unicode code points (ie, 3-byte
utf8 sequences). We have support for 4-byte sequences in 8.1 and
later. Also, there were some fixes in this area in Jan 2007, so
whichever branch you use, make sure you get a minor release that's
newer than that.

PostgreSQL version: 8.3

What does "SELECT version()" return? I'm wondering if the server
isn't 8.3 but rather an earlier version (see below).

the command (chinese by utf-8):
INSERT INTO "title" VALUES(46307243,46307898,'酋鼠𪕨');

in sqlite text type, no problem..
in postgres report error:

invalid byte sequence for encoding "UNICODE": 0xf0

Your INSERT statement works for me in 8.3.3, 8.2.9, and 8.1.13.
According to the release notes version 8.1 changed UNICODE to UTF8
and added support for 4-byte characters, so the fact that the error
says "UNICODE" and your database doesn't appear to support 4-byte
characters makes me wonder if you're running 8.0 or earlier.
