--- Comment #8 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
So if I change the Leader to use MARC-8 encoding instead of UTF-8 I get "Přez
Zį͠ga, Juan" which is different to what you said on Bugzilla but is the same to
what I see in your screenshots with the Z39.50. 

And looking at your screenshots again... you've got a misconfigured framework
for your "Authority type". You're missing the "000 - LEADER". 

And if there is no "000 - LEADER", it looks like it doesn't default to UTF-8
and instead defaults to MARC-8, which then leads to your encoding issue.

I had wondered a bit at the start if this was more of a support issue than a
Koha bug, but I thought it worth investigating. I should've double-checked the
screenshots earlier...

I think... we can probably still classify this one as a bug, because all MARC21
records should have a leader. Maybe we do need to make certain fields
unhideable (e.g. 000/Leader, 005, 008) as hiding these fields leads to bad
records.

I'm going to rename this one from 'Diacritics corrupted when saving authority
records (UTF-8 mangled into unrelated Unicode characters, e.g. é→ř, ú/ñ→ž)' to
'Authority records default to MARC-8 instead of UTF-8 if missing MARC21 leader'
