Try using an editor and configuration with known good UTF8 behavior. Something like vi or emacs, most likely. jEdit seems to have known issues w/ UTF8 detection: http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/2965 You will also have to check your terminal environment to make sure the UTF8 stuff gets across and is preserved correctly. The koha wiki "encoding scratchpad" has a lot of good things to check. --joe 2009/12/3 Chadwick, John, DCA <john.chadwick@state.nm.us>
I am trying to edit the sort-string-utf.chr file to map characters with diacritics (acute and grave accents) to letters without accents.
The problem I am running into is that I am trying to open up the files in a program called jEdit. The editor tells me that the French version is in cp1250.
The English version is utf-8 encoding and the diacritics are showing up in the file with all sorts of extra characters and square boxes.
Any suggestions at this point would be appreciated.
