When saving to a list, Aspen saves the title in the user_list_entry table, shortening it to 50 characters
For a title like:
Just being Dalí : the story of artist Salvador Dalí / by Amy Guglielmo ; illustrated by Brett Helquist.
When punctuation removed and string shortened we get:
just being dalí the story of artist salvador dalí
The 50th character being: í
When using substr - the diacritic is cut in half, the string is mangled, and the title can fail to save to the DB
When using mb_substr - the diacritic is preserved
This patch converts all the substr in the file to mb_substr as it is the safer option when using UTF8
To test:
1 - In Koha add the title "Just being Dalí : the story of artist Salvador Dalí / by Amy Guglielmo ; illustrated by Brett Helquist."
You can grab from LOC via Z39.50
2 - Wait for Aspen to index
3 - Find the title in Aspen, add to a list
4 - Confirmation box appears, but list does not contain title when checked
5 - Apply patch
6 - Repeat
7 - Title successfully added
