Character encoding output question #98

Closed jasloe closed 5 years ago

jasloe commented 5 years ago

I am working with a dataset that contains some poorly encoded strings, i.e.:

=001  TR1311
=245  10$aÀ la Albéniz$h[electronic resource]

I am passing these records through a lookup with values containing the correct character set and encoding:

key,value
TR1311,À la Albéniz

e.g.:

marc_map(001,identifier)
lookup(identifier,'lookup.csv')
marc_replace_all('245',a,$.identifier)

This is working fine, however the output is not what I was expecting:

=001  TR1311
=245  10$a{copy} l{deg} la Alb{caron}niz Alb{copy}{flat}niz$h[electronic resource]

I'm not entirely clear what's going on here. All of the resources I am working with are in the UTF8 domain. Moreover, I understand Catmandu uses UTF8 default. I've tried converting from MarcMaker to ISO and vice versa without any luck. Ideas? Rather stumped....

Whoops meant to post this in the Catmandu issue queue. Apologies for the noise.
