Bibtex export bug(?) using author name with umlaut?

CarinArr
Have an author name with an umlaut "Stürzlinger", and in Zotero all is fine, however, upon exporting as Bibtex, the accent seems to be preserved (ü) rather than re-written as \"{u}, and as a result, is ignored when compiling the bibliography for a LaTeX document.

Example: 

@inproceedings{strzlinger_adaptive_1994,
    title = {Adaptive Mesh Refinement with Discontinuities for the Radiosity Method},
    booktitle = {Fifth Eurographics Workshop on Rendering},
    author = {Wolfgang Stürzlinger},
    year = {1994},
    pages = {239–248}
},
Bug?

    preferences->advanced->check "display character encoding option on export"
    On export, choose any encoding except for UTF-8.

    (Note that {\"u} or {\"{u}} are the proper encodings. Zotero does not yet use them, uses \"{u}.)

    Ah brilliant, thanks.

    I was sure I'd had an option of encoding before but when I was looking at preferences now I was looking in the export options rather than "advanced"!

    I don't necessarily need it to be "proper" as long as it works, and this does the trick:)
