You can use a regex to check if a string is utf-8. There are various examples
floating around the internet. An example is the one here:

When it calls as_usmarc, I think MARC::Batch tries to honor the value set in
position #9 of the leader. In other words, if the

A number of people have alluded to the problem of double encoding, and I'm
beginning to think this is true.
I have isolated a number of problem records. They all contain diacritics, but
they do not have an "a" in position #9 of the leader --

Ok, I can't claim to be an expert, but from my own experience, I'd say
Paul is very likely right about double-encoding occuring. However,
the question ends up being where that happens, and in this case I
suspect how MARC::Batch will work could depend heavily on what version
of perl you're running

For the life of me I can't figure out how to do reading and writing of UTF-8
with MARC::Batch.
I have a UTF-8 encoded file of MARC records. Dumping the records and greping
for a particular string illustrates the validity:

Do your records have the utf8 encoding byte set in the LDR? (Byte 9 should
be 'a' for utf8).

For the life of me I can't figure out how to do reading and writing of UTF-8
with MARC::Batch.
I have a UTF-8 encoded file of MARC records. Dumping the records and greping
for a particular string illustrates the validity:
