There is no magic solution possible. If the UTF-8 (I assume that was a typo in your original post) character is not mapped to the Unicode counterpart then it can't be represented.
Some of your choices are:
- use UTF-8 everywhere to avoid conversion to Unicode
- Ignore the warning
- Convert these characters to another value prior to converting to Unicode
- Change the UTF-8 mapping table in datastage (quite complicated)
The process starts off with the answer to "Do you need these characters"?
