Hi, I have encountered an error when running a query on a virtual dataset:

**nanodbc/nanodbc.cpp:2525: HY000: [Dremio][Support] (50311) Error converting invalid input with source encoding UTF-8 using ICU. Rejected bytes began with: DD46.**

Is there any way in Dremio to figure out where the offending characters are in the dataset?
