Dear all<br>
<br>
We have just installed a Koha 3.04 instance and wanted to test on<br>
whether it supports non-Latin scripts. We are using Marc21 as the<br>
encoding standards. We have uploaded some Chinese records in the<br>
system and display of Chinese characters are perfect. However, we<br>
have problem in the searching of Chinese characters. The result is<br>
not accurate. The result list even contains non-Chinese records and<br>
with no words coincide with the transliteration from the Chinese<br>
characters being searched. So I did an experiment of creating<br>
records with Chinese characters. I tried to create a new title with<br>
just 2 Chinese characters in the title field, when I saved the record,<br>
the following error msg came out:<br>
<br>
<br>
The following fatal error has occurred:<br>
Wide character in null operation at<br>

What do you think the problem is?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance.<br>
