[Koha] unrecognized Armenian and Russian letters

[Haik Zargaryan]

Dear Indranil

We use koha 3.10 but this bug is present in the 3.8 version as well. 
Has you solution worked properly? If es, then can you elaborate a little bit more on that. WE can implement it temporarily unless the bug will be resolved in the later releases.

Thank you very much,
Haik.

When I click on the author name new page is opened but no result is found. The reason is that although the name in the Refine search tab is displayed correctly, when we click on it koha does not recognize some letters and generates a new query with unrecognized characters. I am more than sure that this is the problem because when I substitute the unrecognized characters in the generated link with the proper ones koha retrieves the queried records.

Which version of Koha are you using? 

Sounds similar to something I faced with Bengali script (UTF-8) about a few months back. 

I found that any 'block' passed through the "html" 
filter passed with flying colors, however when it passed through "url", 
it got "encoded" - from bengali utf-8 to into %nn hex escapes

The "hack" involved dropping the "url" 
filter altogether or using the "html" filter instead in the affected template file. 

However, "fixing' 
it this way looks like a bad (non-standard and broken) idea to me. YMMV.

cheers
