Comment 4 for bug 2015758

I agree that UTF-8 should be the default.

I have tested Josh's changes, they work for me. Exporting a batch of records with no encoding looks the same as exporting a batch of records with the encoding set to UTF-8.

MARC8 records look different as expected when diacritics are present.

I removed the "needsdiscussion" tag because I'm not sure what there is to discuss. The release note indicates that users nay need to modify their scripts and/or workflows.

I signed off and pushed the changes to the main branch for the 3.12 release.

Thanks, Josh, Galen, and Susan for contributing to this bug.
