Hi Andy,

Thanks for checking on that. I can confirm that the record has
E2 in it and that when I replace E2 with a ? character, new_from_xml()
doesn't croak.

I was able to find the E2 character in the code tables provided
by LOC (which I assume are what MARC::Charset uses). Here is what
they've got:

<code>
	<isCombining>true</isCombining>
	<marc>E2</marc>
	<ucs>0301</ucs>
	<utf-8>CC81</utf-8>
	<name>ACUTE / COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT (Oxia)</name>
</code>

So is the utf-8 mapping above wrong? or is the MARC::Record suite
handling combining characters correctly?

Cheers,
