title: Does pybtex support accent/special characters in .bib file?
body: <pre><code>from pybtex.database.input import bibtex
  parser = bibtex.Parser()
  bibdata = parser.parse_file("sample.bib")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code snippet works really well in parsing a .bib file but it seems not to support accent characters, like <code>{\"u}</code> or <code>\"{u}</code>(From LaTeX). Just like to confirm if pybtex support that or not.</p>
  
  <p>For example, according to <a href="http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Special_Characters#Escaped_codes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LaTeX/Special Characters</a> and <a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/57745/13513">How to write “ä” and other umlauts and accented letters in bibliography?</a>, <code>\"{o}</code> should convert to <code>ö</code>, and so does <code>{\"o}</code>.</p>
