BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Invalid character ^^@ in citation compiling?

[huktonfonxwrx4mi]

Just switched from Mendeley to JabRef to manage my .bib file, and I'm getting a compilation error for my citations. When I compile a file, a get a list of errors that each say Text line contains an invalid character... and then a successive list of the characters plus ^^@. Here's what it looks like...

If the reference is \cite{Adams2013}, I get this out:

Code: Select all

Text line contains an invalid character \cite{^^@
Text line contains an invalid character \cite{^^@A^^@
Text line contains an invalid character \cite{^^@A^^@d^^@
Text line contains an invalid character \cite{^^@A^^@d^^@a^^@
Text line contains an invalid character \cite{^^@A^^@d^^@a^^@m^^@

and so on...

Has anyone ever seen this? A Google search of ^^@ returned no results, which makes me nervous...

Hi and welcome to the LaTeX community!

This appears to be an encoding issue. Maybe your TeX file has a wrong declaration for the input encoding (cf. the inputenc package). Does your bib file has the same encoding as your main file?
