[Koha] Framework ACQ causes mutilated special characters

Hi Michael,

When I had this problem, had to do with the leader (field 000) the the 
ACQ framework. The leader (position 9) indicates the character encoding. 
If it's not there, Koha freaks out and mangles the special characters.

So to solve your problem, add field 000 in your ACQ framework.

Regards,

Caroline
