Introduction
• This presentation will show just three of the many new UTF compliant related features in version 20.1
• We will first show the problem in version 20.0 (problem which exists in all versions pre-dating 20.1) and then show how it is fixed in 20.1
• The fixes presented here relate to a situation where a language in used in specific cases and that language is not the default language defined in the PC regional settings

Introduction
• On the specific PC used here Hebrew is the language chosen via Start > control panel > regional and language options > advanced (next slide)
• As a result, in pre-version 20.1 Arabic, French and German (as examples) would not display properly in specific cases.
• Similarly, if French were the language chosen via Start > control panel > regional and language options > advanced then Hebrew and Arabic would not display properly in specific cases.

Problem #1 pre version 20.1
• This is a problem which occurs any time the non “regional” language is added to the item description or call number.
• Instead of the actual language question marks or other “wrong” characters appear.
