All settings for Alma should be UTF-8 Unicode. NCRs should NOT be used to create non-Latin scripts for scripts not supported by OCLC. Examples include Georgian, Khmer, and anything else not listed above. Non-Latin fields using NCRs to render non-supported scripts should be deleted from OCLC master records when cataloging.However, some scripts/characters that were not supported in the past are supported by OCLC now, so non-Latin fields using NCRs in those cases will need to be upgraded. 

Exceptions to this policy may be made in the case of large record sets provided by vendors, but CSU Libraries must make a commitment to using the available records that most closely adhere to this policy in such cases. See OCLC Connexion Client guide International Cataloging: Use Non-Latin Scripts  for more details.
