I am sruggling understanding the encoding and if LaTeX / LyX use the

Can somebody shed some light on this issue or refer me to a website
which clarifies these issues?
BibTeX does not support UTF-8 encoding at all, see e.g.

Thanks for the links - so in BibTex, I have to use \"{u} which I
actually prefer as it makes it universal.
But what is the encoding issue in LaTeX? Is it the same issue?
Also - is there an easy way to identify these "characters" in a bibtex
file? When I import from into JabRef, I sometimes get these strange
characters which "corrupt" the BibTeX file for usage with LaTeX and my
databases are quite large...
