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

[Ian Bays]

Hi.

For those loading data they could make sure the leader has the correct value (shown below).  For those with existing bib database you could export the data, use (eg) MarcEdit to turn into human-readable, edit the leader (as below), re-convert to MARC (MarcEdit) and match on the bib number (999$c I think - check first). If course be careful not to duplicate your items with the load.
Good luck.

  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
