\printbibliography
\end{document} <- error comes here

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please provide a compilable code of your document. It should be as short as possible while showing your error. If the error is part of the bib, we need to see the culprit entries as well. Like this, we would be guessing around.– LaRiFaRiFeb 25, 2015 at 10:43

You probably have a spurious U+FFFD character somewhere.– egregFeb 25, 2015 at 10:43

A similar issue, regarding incompatible (spurious) character encoding, can be found with more details in "inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8 error while trying to write a degree symbol (invisible character)" (tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4268/…).– Felipe G. M. MaiaNov 3, 2019 at 23:31

I managed to fix this on my own.
The problem was that my .tex file used utf-8 encoding, but my .bib file used ANSI-encoding. The error presented itself, when I added a bibliography entry which contained an apostrophe. To fix this I converted the .bib file to utf-8 encoding with Notepad++ and removed the files produced by pdflatex (aux, .bbl, .bcf etc.) and then ran pdflatex again.
