This is actually a LaTeX issue. I found myself in a similar situation not too long ago, but I was using pandoc. As you can probably find out for yourself, 'latex unicode' or 'pandoc unicode' (still some relevant info there) will lead you to: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34604/entering-unicode-characters-in-latex http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18178084/pandoc-and-foreign-characters I could not find any alternative to using XeTeX (xelatex). For other times, utf8x has served me well. I only always hope I never get into any unicode trouble. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
