Bruce,
Assuming your matching rules are set (by isbn or whatever), I would
think you should be able to reimport those newly exported utf-8 records
to overlay the old faulty records.
My particular use of koha is different because many many of the items in
my collection do not contain any ISBN.
You might also reverse an import from records management if the affected
records were imported at the same time.
I hope this helps,
Cheers
Jesse

Jesse,
Thanks for the info. I do use the client, so I can correct that easily.
Another thought: Can I re-export those few records from OCLC after I change to
utf-8 and re-import them into Koha to correct the diacritics? I'm guessing
that would work, but I'm still very new to Koha.
Many thanks,
Bruce

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.

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.
