All:
Those of us who have used EndNote for several years may remember the
ballyhoo that accompanied the introduction of EndNote 8: Unicode
compatibility! Well and good, but so far as I can tell it doesn't work
when a filter must be used to download citations from a database into
EndNote. For my humanities users, MLA is the standard database; we have
it through CSA. Roman characters with diacritics are still being
imported as garbage. :-\ If the user is fortunate enough to be able to
rely on a connection file, in Connection Settings the Text: box can be
changed from Western (Windows-1252) to one of the Unicode settings, but
this cannot be done with a filter, at least that I know of.
Given that at the U of California only three connection files for
databases still work, the utility of Unicode vis-a-vis EndNote seems
limited.
