Mac Firefox Connector diacritics
Thanks for any help someone can suggest on this to a Zotero novice.
Using the 5.0.61 Zotero Connector for Firefox (72.0.1) on a Mac (10.14.6), the diacritics (in this case, é è and ç) are coming through as question marks in my Zotero Standalone (5.0.66).
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

I also vaguely remember that there was a distinct downside to testing for the charset (maybe the test was ignored when saving via server?), which is necessary because e.g. Chinese references weren't imported when fixing the charset to 8859, but memory there is hazy.
OCLC regressed away from UTF-8 a couple of months ago. I tried to reach my contact there but the had person resigned. My university library sent a technical services request but (without going into details) received only frustrating non-answer replies. I gather that the current tech support gatekeepers at OCLC don't understand the issue and simply dismiss the problem instead of referring it to someone who can solve it. This may be a time for people reading this forum to talk with their librarian and have her/him contact OCLC. Squeaky wheel...
