Accented Characters in BibTeX Export

q
There is a lengthy mapping table in BibTeX.js, yet when exporting I seem to get BibTeX files that contain accented characters.

e.g. Müller instead of M\"uller

Is this the way the code is supposed to work?

Of course I could set the encoding in LaTeX, but then what is the mapping table doing?

    When you export to bibtex, you can select the character encoding (if you don't have that option, toggle it on in Zotero's Export preferences).
    With utf-8, you get unescaped utf-8 characters (e.g. for BibLaTex users and other utf-8 compatible bibtex implementations).
    For other export encodings (I believe the ISO's e.g.) accented characters etc. are escaped.

    Thanks for the explanation and pointing out the preferences (I missed this).
