Sorry to say, but LaTeX's unicode support stinks. I know, you can get it to work with anything, but it doesn't Just Work (the reason is probably that unicode wasn't yet invented when Knuth wrote TeX). There's a next generation LaTeX project called Omega, that aims to support unicode, but it's been going on for years without any visible progress whatsoever.

unicode?

1) Using Fink, install the unicode-tex package
2) Add the following line at the top of your document:
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
With that simple change, you can insert non-ASCII characters (such as accents and umlauts) directly into your document without having to use LaTeX's clumsy escape mechanism.
