+       8.1.X.  This is because previous versions allowed invalid <literal>UTF8</>
+       sequences to be entered into the database, and this release
+       properly accepts only valid <literal>UTF8</> sequences.  One
+       way to correct a dumpfile is to use <command>iconv -c -f UTF8 -t UTF8</>.
+       This will remove invalid character sequences. <command>iconv</>
+       reads the entire input file into memory so it might be necessary to
+       <command>split</> the dump into multiple smaller files for processing.
