Yes, very important. When you export from Connexion, export in utf-8
(which Koha defaults to of course) instead of Marc-8.
I can attest from experience that this is true!
You can change the export encoding in "options" if you use the client.
Hope this is helpful,
Jesse

Hi Owen,
I will have to check the set up. The records are imported from OCLC.

Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha and display of diacritics/non-Roman
alphabets/characters
Can someone explain how to set up the
system to properly display diacritics and non-Roman characters?
Are you creating these records yourself, or are you importing them? I find that non-Roman
characters will display incorrectly if you choose the wrong character encoding during the
"Stage MARC records for import" process. For instance, if you're importing a
MARC file which is encoded as MARC 8 but you keep the default UTF-8 setting.
