Hi,

I'm using MARC::Charset::marc8_to_utf8() v0.95 to transcode some
Library of Congress data to utf8, however I'm finding a problem with
character 'ø' (hex 0xB2 - lowercase scandinavian o / latin small
letter o with stroke), this character is transcoding to 0xF8 - which is
not valid utf8 - when it should transcode to 0xC3B8. (According to the
documentation, 0xF8 seems to be the ucs transcoding of this character).

Is this a bug in MARC::Charset or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Michael
