Jesse, Thanks for the info. I do use the client, so I can correct that easily. Another thought: Can I re-export those few records from OCLC after I change to utf-8 and re-import them into Koha to correct the diacritics? I'm guessing that would work, but I'm still very new to Koha.

When you export from Connexion, export in utf-8 (which Koha defaults to of course) instead of Marc-8. I can attest from experience that this is true! You can change the export encoding in "options" if you use the client. Hope this is helpful, Jesse On 02-Jun-16 12:53 PM, Bruce Willms wrote:
Hi Owen,
I will have to check the set up. The records are imported from OCLC.

Can someone explain how to set up the system to properly display diacritics and non-Roman characters? Are you creating these records yourself, or are you importing them? I find that non-Roman characters will display incorrectly if you choose the wrong character encoding during the "Stage MARC records for import" process. For instance, if you're importing a MARC file which is encoded as MARC 8 but you keep the default UTF-8 setting.
