utf-8 and Z39.50 and record import, international chars not being shown properly?
Hello, I am using a recent snapshot of Koha 3.0. When I try to search for a record which probably has a language than English in it, it appears that I am not able to get that language in the Z39.50 dialog. Take ISBN 96912064 for example. If I search for this in COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY [clio-db.cc.columbia.edu], I get: Title: Paänjåabåi Yåunåiwarasiòtåi Fåarasåi-Paänjåabåi kosha = And the MARC record as: Koha -- Cataloging: MARC Import LDR 01550mam a2200385 a 4500 001 2160993 005 20030429123500.0 008 970424s1996 ii d s000 0 pano 010 _a 96912064 020 _a8173802130 025 _aI-Pan-96-912064; 07 035 _a(OCoLC)ocm36807043 035 _a(OCoLC)ocm36807043 035 _9ANM8035CU 040 _aDLC _cDLC 041 0 _apanper 042 _alcode 050 00 _aPK2631 _b.P346 1996 245 00 _aPaänjåabåi Yåunåiwarasiòtåi Fåarasåi-Paänjåabåi kosha = _bPunjabi University Persian-Punjabi dictionary = Panjåabåi Yåunåivarsitåi Fåarsåi-Panjåabåi lughat / _csaçnkalanakartåa Jåita Siçngha Såitala ; saòmshodhaka Gulawanta Siçngha ; mukkha sampåadaka Råajindara Siçngha Låambåa. 246 31 _aPunjabi University Persian-Punjabi dictionary 246 31 _aPanjåabåi Yåunåivarasitåi Fåarsåi-Panjåabåi lughat 246 30 _aFåarasåi-Paänjåabåi kosha 246 30 _aPersian-Punjabi dictionary 246 30 _aFåarsåi-Panjåabåi lughat 260 _aPaòtiåalåa : _bPabalikeshana Biåuro, Paänjåabåi Yåunåiwarasiòtåi, _c1996. 300 _a1017 p. ; _c22 cm. 546 _aPanjabi and Persian. 500 _aIncludes index. 650 0 _aPersian language _vDictionaries _xPanjabi. 650 0 _aPanjabi language _vDictionaries _xPersian. 700 1 _aSåitala, Jåita Siçngha, _d1911- 700 0 _aGulawanta Siçngha. 700 1 _aLåambåa, Råajindara Siçngha. 710 2 _aPunjabi University. _bPublication Bureau. 900 _aAUTH Are those funny characters supposed to appear as they do above? If the above somehow show something different, I have posted the screen shots here: http://picasaweb.google.ca/hs.samix/Screenshots# BTW, I have the UTF-8 enabled in apache2, it also enabled for all users on the computer on which Koha is installed. Thanks.

BTW, I did not actually import the data since I wasn't sure in what encoding it will show up. In your case, are you saying you were able to import and display it properly in your opac? Or are you saying you were able to see it properly in the Z39.50 search window only?

I will take a look. I think I have done over it in the past, but I will review it. Thanks.
