Hi Caroline
When I had this problem, had to do with the leader (field 000) the the ACQ framework. The leader (position 9) indicates the character encoding. If it's not there, Koha freaks out and mangles the special characters.
So to solve your problem, add field 000 in your ACQ framework.
This was my first idea as well but unfortunately it didn't change the behavior. Also field 000 isn't shown in the section "Catalog details" when creating a new order. But it is shown when opening Koha menu "Administration > MARC frameworks > ACQ". When opening the record with framework ACQ no field 000 is shown. When opening the record with standard framework (what happens when showing the cataloging view directly after creating an order) field 000 is there with correct value "a" in position 9. But in both cases special characters in MARC 245 $a are mutilated. May I ask you to export and send me the CSV file of framework ACQ you have created? Maybe there is some difference in our frameworks. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

Hi
We have tested the following with Koha 18.11.03 and 20.11.00, both on Debian 9.
We are using framework ACQ (downloaded from https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks ) and have activated Koha system preference "UseACQFrameworkForBiblioRecords".
In Koha menu "Acquisitions > Vendor > New basket > Add order to basket: From a new (empty) record" we can see the MARC fields from framework ACQ. Now if we enter for example "Mäuse und Vögel" in MARC 245 $a an order is created which shows the correct title "Mäuse und Vögel" in column "Order".
But when clicking this title to open the cataloging view we see the title is actually mutilated to "Mũse und Vg̲el". Or in other words, Unicode strings "äu" (octal 303 244 165) and "ög" (octal 303 266 147) have become octal 165 314 203 and 147 314 262.
Can anyone please confirm this? Is there a solution for this problem or should we open a bug report for this?
Many thanks in advance.
