Input Encoding Issue

Post by bpas »

Hello Everybody,

I am new to LaTeX. I have searched my question but I couldn't find solution.

When I export to PDF I am getting the error.

Code: Select all

./Chapters/Chapter2/Chapter2.tex:35:
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:fi not set up for use with LaTeX.
My editor is Latexian - Bibdesk

Thanks in advance

Input Encoding Issue

Hi bpas,

welcome to the LaTeX community.

It seems that in your tex file the f_i ligatures have been imported as the Unicode symbol fi (). The inputenc package does not know that symbol. You can do at least two things:
  1. do a search and replace for and replace it with fi
  2. load the newunicodechar package and make known:

    Code: Select all

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    \usepackage{newunicodechar}
    \newunicodechar{fi}{fi}
    \begin{document}
    fi
    \end{document}
