I apologize if this is not the correct list to ask this question. I'm at a
loss, however, to know where to ask.
I have a character problem that I hope someone can help me with. In a MARC
record I am modifying using MARC::Record, one of the names contains letters
with diacritics. Looking at the name with a hex editor, it gives, with hex
values in curly brackets,"Bis{e5}a{f2}t{e5}i, Mu{f2}hammad." After running
through MARC::Record, the name now appears as "Bis{ef bf bd}a{ef bf bd}t{ef bf
bd}i, Mu{ef bf bd}hammad."
Does this have anything to do with Perl? Or is it more properly the way Linux
(I'm using RedHat) is set up on my machine?
Any help would be appreciated.
