Q:

Having \"{a} in Doxygen, LaTeX

How can you make this \"{a} to present a with dots in Doxygen?
My files are full of the character \"{a}.
It should be universal encoding for a with dots. However, it is clearly not the case.
My encoding is UTF-8 at the moment. The symbol works with the encoding in Vim.

A:

Unless you have a compelling reason for using that particular escape for a-with-an-umlaut, I suggest that you simply replace all occurrences with the actual character "ä" (Unicode code point U+00E4).
