Error from docker logs of Postgres, showing a search attempt failed.

SELECT chat.id AS chat_id, chat.user_id AS chat_user_id, chat.title AS chat_title, chat.chat AS chat_chat, chat.created_at AS chat_created_at, chat.updated_at AS chat_updated_at, chat.share_id AS chat_share_id, chat.archived AS chat_archived, chat.pinned AS chat_pinned, chat.meta AS chat_meta, chat.folder_id AS chat_folder_id
	FROM chat
	WHERE chat.user_id = '4b54a4b3-8097-45c2-978c-938dea762fc1' AND chat.archived = false AND (chat.title ILIKE '%ue%' OR
	                            EXISTS (
	                                SELECT 1
	                                FROM json_array_elements(Chat.chat->'messages') AS message
	                                WHERE LOWER(message->>'content') LIKE '%' || 'ue' || '%'
	                            )
	                            ) ORDER BY chat.updated_at DESC
	 LIMIT 60 OFFSET 0

showing something like

ERROR: unsupported Unicode escape sequence 
SQL status：22P05

DETAILS: \u0000 cannot be converted to text.

CONTEXT: JSON data, line 1: ...Ii, "role": "assistant", "content":
"\u0002\u0000.

I do have found \u0000 in my chatting history.

Additional Information

I think there might be a module to filter input to Postgres database. But not sure whether it is available.
I could contribute to this part if needed.
