Print Search Results

Records in the LC Online Catalog use Unicode (external link) (UTF-8 encoding) for printing. In addition to Roman scripts, the Catalog contains records in the following languages/scripts: Chinese, Japanese, Korean; Cyrillic-based scripts; Greek; Hebrew, Yiddish; and Perso-Arabic script (e.g., Arabic, Persian, Pushto, Sindhi, Urdu). For more information, see Searching/Displaying Non-Roman Characters. In general, your preferred Web browser settings will not need to be changed to correctly view and print records that contain diacritics, special characters, or non-Roman characters. If you have problems, however, you may need to reconfigure your browser (external link). Best results occur if you have Unicode fonts and use Unicode character encoding with automatic character encoding activated.
