[Koha] Problem adding book with non ascii characters in title

[Melisa Canales]

Hello,

I have the same problem when trying to save records with cyrillic, Japanese,
or other characters.  The only way I've found to fix this is to click on the
"..." next to the 000 Leader field and on "9 - Character coding scheme"
select "a - UCS/Unicode" from the dropdown menu.  This allows me to save the
record.  I wanted to hide this field from our users in our custom framework,
but if I do they won't be able to save records containing certain
characters.  Does someone know how to make it always be UCS/Unicode for all
records?

Thanks,
Melisa
