I am trying to cite Graphs jl in paper using the citation bib inside the github page:

```julia
@misc{Graphs2021,
  author = {James Fairbanks, Mathieu Besançon, Simon Schölly, Júlio Hoffiman, Nick Eubank, and Stefan Karpinski},
  title = {JuliaGraphs/Graphs.jl: an optimized graphs package for the Julia programming language},
  year = 2021,
  url = {https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/Graphs.jl/}
}

```

however due to the special character ç, ö, and ú it throws error. I am new to latex so I am not sure how to approach this problem. If there are some help I appreciate it very much.

There are several options. The first one is to be sure to use utf8.

```julia
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}     

```

and be sure that your editor is working in utf-8.

Another option is a special syntax to mention them: for ö use `\"o`, for ú use `\'u` and for ç use `\c{c}`.

Thank you. It is working. And for other reference, I need to change the comma to ‘and’ as name separator. The working bibtex after use

```julia
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

```

as follow:

```julia
@misc{Graphs2021,
  author = {James Fairbanks and Mathieu Besançon and Simon Schölly and Júlio Hoffiman and Nick Eubank and Stefan Karpinski},
  title = {JuliaGraphs//Graphs.jl: an optimized graphs package for the Julia programming language},
  year = 2021,
  url = {https://github.com/JuliaGraphs/Graphs.jl/}
}

```
