Inputenc error

Post by looreenzoo »

Dear all,
I have a problem with an inputenc error. When I attempt to build from the source, I got these 4 errors:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
!Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:́ not set up for use with LaTeX.

I checked on the Internet and it seems that there are some special characters (sometimes also invisible characters) that produce this output, however I am not able to find and replace them. So I tried to use the utf8x option in inputenc, but now I get these 5 errors:

Can anyone help? I know that I shouldn't say that in a support forum, but: it's pretty urgent! Thank you all in advance.

P.S. This is my preamble:

was not printed as in the log file, where this strange accent is right upon the colon after \u8

Inputenc error

The preamble alone is absolutely useless. For specific help it will require a complete but minimal example. Make sure that input encoding (UTF-8 here) and the encoding of the saved *.tex file accord.

While preparing the minimal example, I found out the problem, which was not in the .tex file, but in the .bib one. Since the errors were reproducible even without any text, I checked my references and there was an almost invisible sign upon one author's name. I canceled it, compiled the file, and got the same errors. So I cut the \printbibliography command, compiled the file, re-pasted the command, compiled again and now everything works.
Thanks for indirectly helping!
