## NAME
       bibtexu - UTF-8 Big BibTeX

## SYNOPSIS
       **bibtexu** [_options_] _aux-file_

## DESCRIPTION
       **BibTeXu**  is  the  Unicode-compliant version of BibTeX.  It is largely based on Niel Kempson's
       BibTeX8, and it provides a better support for UTF-8 by integrating ICU  library.   Therefore,
       **BibTeXu**  no  longer  requires the Codepage and Sort order ("CS") file; instead, the method of
       sorting and case-changing can be controled via command-line options.
