Eric,
How can I figure out whether or not a MARC record contains ONLY characters
from the UTF-8 character set?
You can use a regex to check if a string is utf-8. There are various examples
floating around the internet. An example is the one here:
A number of people have alluded to the problem of double encoding, and I'm
beginning to think this is true.
I have isolated a number of problem records. They all contain diacritics, but
they do not have an a in position #9 of the leader --

I use MarcEdit to view records and check if the mnemonic form of a diacritic

way I've come up with so far. MarcEdit is pretty good at guessing what the
character encoding is without relying on the LDR/09 value. I think
