Tim, have you tried writing a copy of the file from JabRef on Linux, and then opening the copy in Windows? JabRef writes encoding information to the file, so it should normally be opened automatically using the correct encoding. After opening in Windows you can use Database properties to ensure that the file is written using UTF-8.
