Is the criterion that the original title is not mentioned when we are dealing with Arabic, Greek, Chinese letters and so on?

Never heard of it. These titles are usually transcribed in our characters.

For example:

See

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabesques_(short_story_collection)

Then you see the original title in Russian, LD doesn't take that. Now the Dutch title has been taken over as the original title for lack of anything better. Perhaps not so exciting.

The Dutch title is incorrect. As I said: a transcription (= phonetic conversion) is correct. You can often find this in the KB catalog.

Less common diacritics are not supported in the catalog, but some non-Western alphabets sometimes are, in some sections.

I know that it will work in the pins section (see e.g. 3219955 ) in the Title and Details fields, but not in the other fields (and not in the History).

Since it is apparently not by definition impossible, I wonder if this problem was not considered in the design of the new pages.

Or is it a function that needs to be adjusted in the underlying database of the catalog?

Let's find out.
Is that text already there from the first entry of the item? Because in history that is not clearly visible with those question marks.

I added those Hebrew characters in Version 2.

It also works with Cyrillic characters, eg 6239665 .

(By the way, it is always an insane job to identify all those characters with an online keyboard and type them correctly.)

By the way, some fields give an error when you try to fill it in, while others accept the input but display question marks on the page. In the latter case, the database will probably have saved the change correctly.

Probably so, only the database administrators can: UTF8 ... but in any form generic or unicode and then the collation utf8mb4 etc .. (yes utf8 is used here, which one?)
Too technical to explain differences.
Most important in this (that know or has been agreed? The dbase administrators) that the correct form (in use) can show all characters, but also has consequences for the speed of the queries that are called.
Assuming that dbase is large, that's an important item ...

As an aside: this may also be the cause of whether a 'form' is used that is still partly used on old pre utf 8 rules such as latin.

@Collectioneur reports: Let's find out ..
This may be the cause of this.
