unicode and jurabib?

I've been looking at jurabib, and have been very impressed by its 
capabilities.

However, I was wondering if it is possible to use jurabib with unicode, 
that is, using the European characters such as umlauts, and smart 
quotes, etc. I have not been able to get jurabib to work properly when 
I include such characters in the fields of my BibTeX records.

If possible, I would prefer, in my BibTeX database, not to convert 
unicode characters back to legacy LaTeX workarounds, such as \"a, for 
numerous reasons -- incompatibility with other databases, and headaches 
in writing perl regex find/replace scripts, to name a couple.

A possible temporary solution might be to redefine unicode characters 
into their LaTeX equivalents, if such a macro exists.

In any case, I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions.

Best,

Roger

PS. I run LaTeX on Mac OS X 10.3.8 and TeXShop with the following,

	\RequirePackage[encapsulated]{CJK}
	\RequirePackage{ucs}
	\RequirePackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

Before long I hope to upgrade to XeTeX, which is unicode-based.
