I would recommend LaTeX markup (the "LICR encoding") as the most stable and save way to represent non-ASCII characters in a *.bib file. In the above case, it would be "Karol .{Z}yczkowski". Some BibTeX-Managers allow to determine the encoding of the bib file and will do the conversion for you. Also LyX (usually)¹ does a good job in converting Unicode to the TeX "LICR encoding" when you select Document>Settings>Language>Encoding: ASCII Then you can paste/write "offending" entries into the main window and see the translation in View>Source>LaTeX. Günter ¹ Don't use the LyX translation for Greek and Cyrillic script, as this does not use LICR but hard-coded slots in a TeX font encoding. (I am working on a patch.)
