<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for posting this! I created a ticket for this issue some time ago -
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archivesspace.atlassian.net_projects_ANW_issues_ANW-2D758&d=DwMFaQ&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=fciHLC2ou0tXKp-JlPlsrEmslFw9tnR331DgXAhVLvo&m=O_I9IP5TQqjSgLCEmGbTMMyY4LobLqBLjzWAg0WkdGA&s=VOQxtRmnpKCZotsqXT5kV4pn8GQCasVf90Fvb5XmXk4&e=">
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/projects/ANW/issues/ANW-758</a>. The issue appears to be that the base PDF font set is limited in its character support, and does not handle diacritics/non-Latin characters well - it either "flattens" them to ASCII, or replaces
them with "#".<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm unaware of any workarounds in the meantime, but it's entirely a PDF rendering issue - your data should be fine as-is.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">“Camille Saint-Sae#ns correspondence”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">“Camille Saint-Saëns correspondence”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">…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>
