You haven't provided a whole lot of information to go on, here - but
apparently you have some invalidly encoded data in your dump file.
Older versions of PostgreSQL weren't as strict about preventing such
data from creeping into the database, which can lead to problems of
this type. Your best bet is to probably edit the dump before
restoring it.
