This is my experience with Koha 3.10. I added the 'Mubarak Public Library'
in Egypt as z39.50 target, and ran an Arabic title search on 'مصر' ("Misr"
aka Egypt).

See the output here

So, it is most likely an encoding issue.

And please do not cross-post on both lists, it is considered poor etiquette.

cheers,
