Handling Special Characters

Dear All,

I have created a UTF-8 database to store multi-lingual charcters. Below is the query from which i insert from Winsql (front-end third party database browser tool), the data gets inserted properly.

insert into a (no, lbl)
values (1, "Cliquez ici pour revenir à la recherche de l'hôtel");

Now when i try to insert the same query through dbaccess it gives me an error " 202: An illegal character has been found in the statement."
When i view the query in vi editor -

insert into a (no, lbl)
values (2, "Cliquez ici pour revenir \205 la recherche de l'h\223tel");
# ^
# 202: An illegal character has been found in the statement.
#

I tried to ftp the file in both ASCII & binary mode, but no luck.
Is there a way how i can handle these special characters. I am using sun solaris 8.

Regards,

lloyd
