[Koha] Character problems

[Joe Atzberger]

Pasi --

I suggest we attempt to resolve the problem with the importer, and then
reimport.  Some other members on the list will be able to speak to your
question better that I can, however.  The data is represented in several
places in the database, so it is not trivial to accomplish a mass-replace.
And presumably you would want to import new data at some later point,
regardless.
