 MARC-8 has been the standard format for MARC-21 records since 1968. Nearly every system that can export records in MARC format can do so in MARC-8 format.

 During the deduplication process, Backstage will notify customers in the event that a record cannot be processed due to field or record length.
-== UTF-8 Format ==
+=== UTF-8 Format ===
 UTF-8 has been in use since early 1993.  The main difference between MARC-8 and UTF-8 is that UTF-8 allows for more character types to be used within the records.
 Since UTF-8 can represent many more characters than MARC-8, the files tend to be larger in size.  Each character in UTF-8 is between 1 - 4 bytes (whereas MARC-8 is only 1 byte in length).
 If your system uses UTF-8, please also let us know whether the characters are in precomposed or decomposed format.  Precomposed characters use combined diacritics (e.g., n & ~ are combined to form: ñ).  Decomposed format separates the characters.
