            "content": "BibTeXu  is  the  Unicode-compliant version of BibTeX.  It is largely based on Niel Kempson's\nBibTeX8, and it provides a better support for UTF-8 by integrating ICU  library.   Therefore,\nBibTeXu  no  longer  requires the Codepage and Sort order (\"CS\") file; instead, the method of\nsorting and case-changing can be controled via command-line options.\n",
