If the OCLC Connexion client is not configured properly, it will produce errors in diacritic characters like this:

To prevent this, you need to configure Connexion to export records in UTF-8.
1. In the Connexion client, go to Tools > Options.
2. Go to the Export tab.
3. Click Record Characteristics...
4. Change the "Character Set" to UTF-8 Unicode.

6. Click OK.
