[Koha] Z39.50 import loses UTF8 enconding?

[Marc Nürnberger]

Dear all,

Whenever I try to import via Z39.50 search from the LOC a record 
containing Asian charachters the imported record splits up the 
doublebyte code characters into single characters.

Since I am able to query the LOC using UTF8-strings, I guess this 
might be a sign that the UTF8 encoding was probably lost while doing 
the import.

The encoding problem actually shows even before I import a record and 
just click the preview options "MARC" or "CARD" in the results window. 
Going for the "Card" option, I get the following attached error message.

Is there somewhere in the perlfiles a fixed encoding setting that I 
have to change from e.g. iso-5426 to UTF8?

I would very much appreciate any hints, where to look.

Best regards,
Marc
