I've been using UTF-8 encoding with Jabref for several years now without problems. However, I found that some characters don't fare well with bibtex, as I just found out. One of my entries has the letter Ø (hopelly the web interface won't mangle this); the norwegian capital "o" with a slash through the middle of it. Bibtexing a *.tex source with this citation fails with the error:
ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:\303 not set up for use with LaTeX.
I have "\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}" in my preamble, as I've always had without problems. Other similar characters don't produce the error; in fact, the lowercase version of the character above goes through fine. Any advice appreciated.

This sounds like a problem with your LaTeX setup - I often have these characters in my own documents without problems. What happens if you try to include an Ø directly in your LaTeX document?

The LaTeX documents compile fine if the Ø is included directly, and neither are any problems encountered if the character is placed directly in the *.bbl file. I'm using the texlive packages from Debian sid.
