Re: [Koha] Diacritics displaying (or not) in Koha
Thank you Owen. You were correct. That next import worked in MARC-8. There are only a few that did not - which can be easily edited by the item. My next question has to do with indexing and choosing the ICU option to search in Arabic. Might I inquire where in the files I can add 880 to the indexing list and where I choose the ICU option of indexing. Thank you again, I am happy to finally be getting our system up and running.

Thanks Mark. That is what I needed. We will soon find how current it is...

[Koha] Diacritics displaying (or not) in Koha
Hello everyone, What are the factors that determine whether diacritics display in Koha or not? Is this based on encoding or something else? I understand the encoding default for KOHA (during import) is UTF-8. But it also has a MARC-8 option. I am working with records created in OCLC Connexion, records which are coded in MARC-8. Can I assume every aspect of those records will also display - specifically diacritics for transliterated Arabic. My first test imports did not display diacritics and I am hoping that if I re-import that same batch in MARC-8 they will. If not, what is the common work-around to display them? Background: We are finally in test-set-up mode for our KOHA installation (whew) and are trying to work out its kinks relative to our arrangement. Our installation is as follows: Base install of Debian Wheezy 7.8 Apt-get install of mysql Apt-get install of apache 2.2 Package install of Koha 3.20 Thank you much in advance.
