Answer 1

I got this error when reading data from a Mysql table. The database had some fields in latin1 format. Converting them to utf8 format helped.

Answer 2

The database field is too small for the data in it, and silently truncated it on insertion. You'll need to repair the data by hand, and make the field larger as well.
