https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22824 --- Comment #46 from Jonathan Druart <jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org> --- Hum $ perl misc/admin/koha-preferences dump | perl misc/admin/koha-preferences load It works $ perl misc/admin/koha-preferences dump > prefs && file prefs prefs: ASCII text indeed, but edit URLLinkText, set "✔ ❤️ ★" $ perl misc/admin/koha-preferences dump > prefs && file prefs prefs: UTF-8 Unicode text $ perl misc/admin/koha-preferences dump | perl misc/admin/koha-preferences load Still works Edit URLLinkText, it contains the characters in the correct encoding. Can you try adding binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)'; before Dump? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
