[Koha-patches] [PATCH] Bug 11054: Specify utf8 encoding when creating a child record

[Colin Campbell]

When the only non-ascii characters in a new child record
are latin + diacritic in the range covered by Latin-1 they
are not being added to a new child record correctly encoded.
Explicitly setting the record's encodiing ensures that
they are interpreted correctly.

see "Unicode Bug" in perldoc perlunicode for background on
why these characters are special
