Retrieving pdf metadata causing problems with special characters

Version Zotero 2.0.9 FF 3.6.13
When I try to retrieve metadata from a pdf with special characters in the author’s name (e.g. ü,ä,ö) it will displayed like "\ü". While trying to import this article via DOI it was imported correctly.
This is a DOI for test this error (10.1016/j.anbehav.2010.04.001)
thanks for any help
  • When retrieving metadata, it used google scholar. Google scholar has an error in their BibTeX export:@article{thünken2010parental,
    title={{Parental investment in relation to offspring quality in the biparental cichlid fish Pelvicachromis taeniatus}},
    author={Th{\\"u}nken, T. and Meuthen, D. and Bakker, T. and Kullmann, H.},
    journal={Animal Behaviour},
    issn={0003-3472},
    year={2010},
    publisher={Elsevier}
    }
    Not much that Zotero can do unless this is a systematic problem with the google data.

    then i hope google will fix that problem soon.
