Basically, it means there was a character that it could not convert and the hexidecimal value of that character was "C9", hence the "[xC9]" in the message. Hex C9 is Decimal 201 if you want to go look that up in your source/target charactersets.

I source charcterset is Project default (UTF-8)
Target characterset is Project default (UTF-8)

Do i need to change anything in there?
