>From what I can see in http://search.cpan.org/~mirk/Net-Z3950-ZOOM/lib/ZOOM.pod, the calling application (koha in our case ?) has to set the encoding conversion, and ZOOM forwards it in turn to the called YAZ module (as per http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/zoom.records.html). YAZ in turn is supposed to be "a wrapper for the library system call iconv. But YAZ' iconv utility also implements conversions on its own" (as per http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/yaz.pdf and http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libiconv/documentation/libiconv-1. 13/iconv.1.html). In other words, besides marc8, marc8s, marc8lossy, marc8lossless, utf8, iso8859-1, iso5426, iso5428:1984, advancegreek and danmarc, encodings that it natively supports, YAZ is supposed to be able to handle all the encodings supported by iconv.
In debian at least, the list of encodings that YAZ supports (fully or partially) is enormous: iconv -l The following list contain all the coded character sets known. This does not necessarily mean that all combinations of these names can be used for the FROM and TO command line parameters. One coded character set can be listed with several different names (aliases). 437, 500, 500V1, 850, 851, 852, 855, 856, 857, 860, 861, 862, 863, 864, 865, 866, 866NAV, 869, 874, 904, 1026, 1046, 1047,
