</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure if there’s a ticket for this, but we’re seeing some tricky behavior with diacritics in both the Title and Filing Title fields when trying to print a PDF as a background job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s an example: the collection name is “Camille Saint-Saëns correspondence”, and the umlaut displays correctly in the public interface.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this text is input into the Title field without any character encoding, i.e. if the “ë” is just pasted in there, then when I print a PDF as a background job in the staff interface it shows up like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Camille Saint-Sae#ns correspondence”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I encode the character, whether HTML (ë) or UTF-8 (ë), the title ends up looking like this in the PDF output:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Camille Saint-Saëns correspondence”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">…because the ampersand gets converted to “&” in the xml and ends up as “& #235;”. I’m not seeing this behavior in any other fields though. Does this mean that no diacritics are allowed in the Title fields? Or, am I just inputting
this wrong? When generating a PDF from the public interface, it seems to remove the encoding entirely, so the title fields end up as “Saint-Saens” in each case--although I understand that PDF creation process to be different than the one done as a background
job.<o:p></o:p></p>
