Hello,
I was exporting to bibtex and found the following:
1.
The bibtex export does not map accented characters in the cite key
properly, so e.g. author Tichý would be exported as "tich" instead of
"tichy".
2.
at least
"\u00E5":"\\r{a}", //'LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE'
"\u00E6":"\\ae", //LATIN SMALL LETTER AE'
and their capital variants ("\u00C4", "\u00C5") are missing.

The capital equivalents are \00C5 and \00C6, not C4 and C5, and a
mapping for capital AE already existed (in a different section). I've
added the other mappings, however, along with their reverse mappings. A
full patch would be easier in the future.

Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can
update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero
prefs.

Thanks.
