I have a LaTeX document in which I improt .bib database
\bibliography{LagrangianRelax}
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
I am getting an error (I know its quite common): ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:�d� not set up for use with LaTeX.
when making a citation.
I dont know why – my editor is set to UTF8, JabRef (in which I create the .bib database) is set to UTF and I use \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks for any tips…

Perhaps the reason is that you compile with
bibtex
, notbiber
. Bibtex doesn't understand utf8 — not even 8-bit encoding. Probably you should usebiblatex
— in which case the syntax for loading the database and a bibliography style should be (for the alphabetic style, for instance):I'm unsure whether it's exactly the same style as the
alphabetic.bst
style file, but biblatex styles are much easier to customise than .bst files.
