[Koha-zebra] marcxml UTF-8 Encoding Issue

[Furkan Taşel]

Dear Koha Community,

I am quite new to KOHA; I went through a fresh installation of Koha on
Ubuntu a few weeks ago.

The project that I am working on requires Turkish characters to be kept in
the DB. After through investigation, I was able to perform cataloging and
search with Turkish characters. However, when I try to catalog authorities
with Turkish characters in it Koha converts the characters to some strange
encoding. (Eg. when I try to insert "Çelebi, Evliya" as an
Authority(Personal Name) it is inserted to the database as "ßelebi,
Evliya".)

If I manually change the marcxml field in auth_header table and replace it
with Turkish characters, Koha shows it with different encoding in Authority
search. When the same record's edit screen is shown, authority name with
proper encoding is shown.

Looked through plenty of links and previous messages and weren't able to
find any similar issue. I would really appreciate any help on this encoding
issue,
Furkan
