The following code used to compile, but I noticed now that it doesn't anymore.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{00E4}{\"a}
\begin{document}
lorem ipsum
\end{document}

! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \DeclareUnicodeCharacter 

l.3 \DeclareUnicodeCharacter
                          {00E4}{\"a}
?

Any idea what's going on?

Are you using XeTeX or LuaTeX? In those engines inputenc (thus \DeclareUnicodeCharacter) is ignored. – Phelype Oleinik Nov 24 '19 at 19:05
Do you need to do that declaration to begin with? I see no reason to. – egreg Nov 24 '19 at 20:50
