Hi Steve,
Here's my guess -- are you mixing UTF8 and MARC8 data. If MarcEdit finds
UTF8 data in your record, it won't convert these mnemonics (good reasons for
that). There was a time when I allowed for lazy loading -- if you had mixes
of UTF8 and MARC8 data in the same record, MarcEdit would attempt to process
the mnemonic diacritics if they are there. However, this was becoming
problematic for a lot of reasons for international users.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] MarcEdit compiler not compiling symbols and diacritics
I am seeing a strange problem, which I am surprised no one has reported.
Either something very strange is going on with my machine or there is a
major bug. MarcEdit does not seem to be compiling symbols and diacritics.
I was editing records in MarcEdit and loading them into Millennium this
morning. Once the records were in Millennium, I noticed that they contained
strings like "{copy}" and "{acute}" rather than the expected copyright
symbol and diacritic mark. I tried upgrading to the most recent version of
Millennium, and tried testing again. I am still seeing this problem.
Here is how I tested. I found an old MARC file that I had edited in
MarcEdit and loaded into the ILS months ago. I verified that the record in
Millennium contained a copyright symbol, confirming that the MARC file which
was loaded was fine. The MARC file has not been edited since then. I
confirmed that it was still fine by test loading the record again; the
copyright symbol appears in the resulting record in Millennium. Then I used
MarcEdit to extract one record from the file, and compiled the single record
to .mrc format. Then I tried loading the single record. The symbol comes
out as {copy} rather than the copyright symbol.
It looks like MarcEdit is not compiling the diacritics and symbols.
