What this sounds like is an encoding problem. Non-ASCII characters such as é have different bit-level representations depending on whether you are using UTF-8, ISO 8859-1, WIN1252, etc. Unfortunately there's usually not a lot Postgres can do about this kind of thing, since it's impossible to guess reliably what encoding a chunk of text is meant to be in. You have to be careful to configure your operating system environment so that the same encoding assumptions prevail throughout.
In any case, we definitely can do nothing about it with zero context information. You didn't even mention what OS you're using.
