Subject: [External] [Wactclc-alma] copyright symbol?

Hi everyone:

We’re noticing that the copyright symbols when we import records from OCLC,  are showing up in both Alma and Primo as a question mark in a triangle, like this: �2007

It doesn’t seem to matter which browser we use. Is there something that we can do (maybe in our import profile or normalization rules) to fix this? Our records didn’t look like that when we migrated them over from Millennium, but our staff have been cleaning up the symbol since we started importing into Alma from OCLC. Has this happened to anyone else? So far, it only seems to be the copyright symbol that is affected. Haven’t noticed a problem with diacritics in foreign language materials.

Thanks,

Elena
