Are you sure that they are EUC-TW? Considering the byte swapping, they
are actually like this:

0x31,0x31,0x31,0x31,0x0a,
0xa6,0xa8,0xa5,0x5c,0x0a,
0xb3,0x5c,0x0a,
0x32,0x32,0x32,0x32,0x0a

Here we see a55c and b35c, which should never happen in EUC-TW, since
the each second byte is lower than 0x80.
I guess they are BIG5. If my guess is correct, you could set the
client encoding to BIG5 ("\encoding BIG5" in psql) and get correct
result.
