Description

Here is a recent import from IA into OL:
- IA Record: https://archive.org/details/b30530921_0001
- OL Record: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL50976356M/Abreg%C2%A9%E2%99%AD_de_toute_la_medecine_pratique_...

The long-withstanding issue ( #135 ) of mysterious characters like `©♭` appearing in the Open Library record!

The purpose of this issue is to create a unit test of the smallest possible piece that is breaking. Likely, that is the piece that takes in the MARC record. That way this error should never resurface!
