Re: [VuFind-Tech] Diacritics in call numbers

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

The problem could be on either end, but it might be easier to fix in Unicorn.php -- you might want to look at the part of the code that is outputting the call numbers and see if mb_detect_encoding or mb_convert_encoding can help you.

Are you referring to the driver.pl script that resides on our ILS server, or the Unicorn.php driver?

Perhaps they are being stored in Latin-1 or some other format and need to be converted before being passed to VuFind.  (There were some problems like this in the Voyager driver that were resolved fairly recently -- probably between 1.3 and 1.4; I wouldn't be surprised to see similar things in other drivers).
