[Koha] Help needed to ensure MARC export is in UTF-8 encoding

[Francisco de Abreu Peixoto]

Hello Daniel,

I think that in the past I run into the same problemand I solved it. But
for what I remember it an Apache Mysql problem.

Try this:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,
Francisco
