Hello All, When testing koha 3.16.01 SIP using telnet by trying to run this command 2300120080623 172148AOCL|AA123456|ACsipstation01|ADbadpassword we get the following result 24YYYY YY 00120141224 055624AE???? ????|AA123456|AFGreetings from Koha. where (???? ????) is an Arabic name of the user, We are asking why the Arabic names appear as question marks. Thanks.
Out of curiosity: telnet is a terminal emulation program, back from the days of 7/8 bit character sets. In order to display non-Latin characters one would have to set the proper emulation protocol and character set used, both in the server and the client sides and on a per-terminal basis. Where does one make such declarations in koha? MP On Wednesday, December 24, 2014, Abdulsalam Yousef <ayousef@kwareict.com> wrote:

Check your SIP config file if the accounts have a parameter 'encoding="charset" remove it. Without an encoding parameter the server passes back whats in the koha database cleanly. If its there it cooks the return and you may lose non-ascii characters. I tested and in default state arabic and other non-latin got correctly returned. I added an encoding="ascii" and saw the results you are getting.
