So I'm working with postgres, and I get a datadump which I try to restore to my test system, and I get this:

ERROR:  value too long for type character varying(4)
CONTEXT:  COPY res_currency, line 32, column symbol: "руб"

"py6" sure looks like it should fit, but it don't.  Further investigation revealed that "py6" is made up of the bytes d1 
80 d1 83 d0 b1.

Any ideas on what that means, exactly?
