Yes. Quoting the biblatex manual (sec. 2.4.3): "Using UTF-8 encoding in both the tex and the bib file is not possible since neither traditional BibTeX nor bibtex8 can handle multi-byte encodings such as UTF-8. In this case, you need to use a single-byte encoding such as Latin 1 [...] or resort to Ascii notation in the bib file" Having said that, a replacement program for bibtex (written in Perl) with specific target to biblatex is just being developed: http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net/ Jürgen
