Dear all

We have just installed a Koha 3.04 instance and wanted to test on
whether it supports non-Latin scripts. We are using Marc21 as the
encoding standards.  We have uploaded some Chinese records in the
system and display of Chinese characters are perfect.  However, we
have problem in  the searching of Chinese characters.  The result is
not accurate.  The result list even contains non-Chinese records and
with no words coincide with the transliteration from the Chinese
characters being searched.   So I did an experiment of creating
records with Chinese characters. I tried to create a new title with
just 2 Chinese characters in the title field, when I saved the record,
the following error msg came out:


The following fatal error has occurred:
Wide character in null operation at
/usr/share/perl5/MARC/Charset/Table.pm line 96.

What do you think the problem is?

Thank you in advance.
