           Product: Koha
           Version: 20.05
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major

When using the basic editor for cataloging, entry of new records, fields that
contain UTF-8 are silent ignored when saved. When that record is reviewed the
field that had contained one of more UTF-8 character is now blank.
When an item for that record is entered, fields that contain UTF-8 work fine.
A clue may be that when a new record is created, or changed with some UTF-8 in
the title field 245a, the field appears to be blank, and if the save button is
hit again without making any changes, there is a complaint “Can’t save this
record because the following field aren’t filled, tag 245 subfield a Title in
tab 0” that you can’t save with a blank title field. However the display of the
record that shows the tile and the record number shows the title correctly
including the UTF-8 characters exactly as typed in the title.
This problem occurs in Koha 18.11 and 21.05. Both are running on Ubuntu 18.11
and now on 20.04.3 LTS.

I have tested that mysql tables will accept input from a mysql prompt in UTF-8,
and displays it correctly in a query.
 Have tested that a short HTML file can be read by Apach2 and displays
correctly.
I have tested that Ubuntu’s locale is set to support UTF-8, by running the
locale command.
I am using Koha in Canada, using English. 
I tried the advanced editor option. There was no change when I edited the same
record.
