--- Comment #22 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
I tried © which is A9 in Latin-2 but C2A9 in UTF-8.

I wrote it out as Latin-1, but trying to save it into Koha won't work. The
database refuses it because it's not UTF-8:

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Incorrect string value: '\xA9irm.<...' for
column `koha_kohadev`.`biblio_metadata`.`metadata`

--

In hindsight, some of the encoding issues experienced probably were before we
updated Koha thoroughly with utf8mb4.

So I probably got my original analysis a bit wrong in terms of the
"Description" of this bug report. I thought it was a case where they were using
the wrong encoding on their Z39.50 but I don't think it was that.

Based off my experience on bug 35104 I think that all my recent issues with 
"Error: invalid data, cannot decode metadata object
  parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value [X]" are probably due to
copy/paste...
