    Problem Symptoms:

    the following messages appear in pc_server_log when searching records via Z39.50 with character conversion marc8_lat_to_unicode:
    Duplicate UNICODE value 000007848 (X"1EA8") in marc8_lat_to_unicode
    First occurrence ("àãA") accepted, "ãàA" rejected.

    Duplicate UNICODE value 000007874 (X"1EC2") in marc8_lat_to_unicode
    First occurrence ("àãE") accepted, "ãàE" rejected.

    Cause:
    Character conversion $alephe_unicode/marc8_lat_to_unicode

    Resolution:
    Messages may be ignored

    Additional Information

    Table $alephe_unicode/marc8_lat_to_unicode is used for both directions, for MARC8 to Unicode and for Unicode to MARC8. The duplicate entries in the table are necessary for characters with two diacritic symbols. In MARC8 both characters may appear in different order and therefore both orders must be considered in the table.
