Why do I have to use the luainputenc when every program is using UTF-8 encoding?

Example

good The way it should be

Bad Missing Characters

Tex Code // Please use lualatex

\documentclass[german]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
%\usepackage{polyglossia} cannot be used:

polyglossia-with-setdefaultlanguagegerman-does-not-work-after-re

\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc} % Please turn on and off

\usepackage[backend=biber,bibencoding=utf8]{biblatex} %biber war fehlerhaft / sorting wird verwendet damit es der Reihenfolge entpsricht
\addbibresource{biblo.bib}
\begin{document}
    Test \cite{test}
    \printbibliography
\end{document}

Bib Code // Please use biblatex and biber

@article{test,
author={Günter Frö},
title = {Wörter},
journal = {Wörter in Österreich},
year = {2013}
}

It's not clear why using LuaLaTeX, but here it is.

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test,
author={Günter Frö},
title = {Wörter},
journal = {Wörter in Österreich},
year = {2013}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 

\usepackage[
  backend=biber,
  bibencoding=utf8
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

Test \cite{test}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

The filecontents* environment is just to make the example self-contained.

Why do you need luainputenc? Because you're using legacy fonts, which have no character in the slots pointed at by Unicode characters above code 127.

Otherwise, use fontspec:

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test,
author={Günter Frö},
title = {Wörter},
journal = {Wörter in Österreich},
year = {2013}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
\usepackage{fontspec}

\usepackage[
  backend=biber,
  bibencoding=utf8
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

Test \cite{test}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

The output is essentially the same.

  • Thank you for your answer!

    After trying to figure out the difference between those two: As I understand it, fontspec seems to be in a UTF-8 editor the "better" choice, when using lualatex or Xelatex
