Interesting... \x9f and \x8a are not valid Latin-1/8895 characters.   My
guess is that the CSV's are UTF-8 and your database is Latin-1.  If that is
the case, try converting the csv to 8859-1 with utf8_decode().

It is a bit of a hack, but it should work if the only languages you support
are german/spanish/french/english.  If you want your code to work with all
languages, you need to change the db encoding to utf8, and make sure all
input and output is UTF8.
