Thanks for your answer.
Well, this could be a precious hint.
Indeed, in that catalogue I want to process, some books are ancient
books and were catalogued from OCLC or SUDOC.
And any LOWERCASE DIGRAPH AE or UPPERCASE DIGRAPH AE or LOWERCASE
DIGRAPH OE is not well encoded. Encoding is **assumed** to be latin1
translated into utf-8 in the catalogue I am working on but appears
respectively µ, ¥,¶ in biblios.
Is there a way to fix things up ?
