We struggled for quite some time with this, until we came across a Teradata UDF (cp2uni_axm.so) which 'cleans' the data for you ... at least it did for us.

     .
     .
     .
     begin loading CORPSW01

     ErrorFiles $ENV$UTIL_DB.CORPST01_ERR1,
                $ENV$UTIL_DB.CORPST01_ERR2;

     SET RECORD VARTEXT "";

     /* access module filters untranslatable uncode characters */
     /*  ErrorChar u+0023  --> #                               */
     /*            u+003F  --> ?                               */
     /*  Remove TRACE to reduce log-file clutter.              */

     axsmod ${err_check}/cp2uni_axm.so "CodePage=UTF8, ErrorChar=U+003F, EOR=0A,
     Format=FIXED";

     DEFINE
     CON_ID         (VARCHAR(255))
      PCE_NR         (VARCHAR(255))
     .
     .
     .

We generate our load scripts and this one additional simple line resolved our problem.
