Now that I'm thinking about it, this might be an encoding issue.  If it is,
some characters will be fine, and some will be garbage.  This CAN happen if
your ascii characters fall in certain ranges, but it is more frequently a
problem if the database was transmitted over the internet.

Try this:
1) On the machine that is sending the database, encase it in a .zip file
(or internet-safe compression algorithm of your choice)
2) Transmit
3) Decompress on target machine/vm
4) See what it looks like.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
