title: String contains invalid or unsupported UTF8 codepoints. Bad UTF8 hex sequence:
body: <p>Team, 
  I  am using redshift version *(8.0.2 ). while loading data using COPY command, I get an error: - "String contains invalid or unsupported UTF8 codepoints, Bad UTF8 hex sequence: bf (error 3)". 
  It seems COPY trying to load UTF-8 "bf" into VARCHAR field. As per Amazon redshift, this error code 3 defines below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>error code3: 
  The UTF-8 single-byte character is out of range. The starting byte must not be 254, 255
  or any character between 128 and 191 (inclusive).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Amazon recommnds this as solution - we need to go replace the character with a valid UTF-8 code sequence or remove the character. </p>
  
  <p>could you please help me how to replace the character with valid UTF-8 code ? </p>
  
  <p>when i checked database properties in PG-ADMIN, it shows the encoding as UTF-8. </p>
  
  <p>Please guide me how to replace the character in the input delimited file. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks...</p>
