After you preprocessed the data in OpenOffice.org and before you imported the CSV to DSpace, did the characters appear correctly when you viewed the CSV file in a text editor? What encoding did you use for the CSV file when saving in OpenOffice.org? Do those characters display correctly in the DSpace web interface? Did you create your DSpace database with the -E UNICODE flag as described in the Installation chapter? (createdb -U dspace -E UNICODE dspace) Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
