I see people having various problems related to bibliographies in TEX.SE, but I cannot really benefit from answers, because I'm not sure how to use any bibliography let alone UTF8.
Could anybody paste a minimal working example citing a website and a tell how to compile it (it appears to be different than simply compiling a .tex)?
Edit: I realize how lame this thread looks, but I honestly could not find an exact tutorial, because it's either pdflatex, non-UTF8, not TeXworks or whatever people talking about…

Here is an example file, which requires
biber
, and can be compiled withxelatex
. Use the following commands:xelatex <filename>.tex
,biber <filename>.bcf
,xelatex <filename>.tex
--- where '<filename>
' is whatever you called the example file. (Note I don't have complicated UTF8 needs for my bibliography, so I added one entry full of gibberish; but compare thejunkentry
input with the image given below to see thatbiber
handles the material properly, whereasbibtex
would choke and produce the wrong gibberish.)For those who'd like to stick with the
pdfTeX
engine (and thereby uselatex
orpdflatex
), just comment out the\usepackage{fontspec}
anddefaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
lines, and load fonts and encodings in your accustomed way. For example, the following image was made withpdflatex
and the following packages instead offontspec
