I've done some testing (because your message spooked me) and I'm not seeing the same problem here using MarcEdit version 6.2.6001.15.
I've tried exporting records from our catalog in Marc-8, editing them in the MarcEditor and re-making them. I've also tried extracting a single record from a file of Marc-8 records, editing and remaking. The diacritics look fine when I reload them into a test database.
You don't by any chance have one of the "translate to [character set]" boxes checked in the Marc Tools window?

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.
