bulkmarcimport and unicode data
hi All, I am trying to import MARC data (in unicode Tamil) into koha using bulkmarcimport.pl However, bulkmarcimport.pl does not like 3 characters (U+0B88, U+0B89, U+0BC8). Whenever these 3 characters are encountered, the rest of the string (subfield value) is gobbled and is missing from the database. But, bulkmarcimport.pl imports correctly if these 3 characters do not occur in the MARC data to be imported. Any idea whats going on ? Thanks, hari.

Any idea whats going on ? Sorry it's taken so long to get a response on this:
1. do you have MARC21 unicode records with LEADER / 09 set to 'a'? 2. what are the exact errors you're getting with bulkmarcimport? 3. can we get some samples of records that aren't importing correctly?
