I am a little bit surprised that you got any diacritical marks since the diacritical marks are not preceded by backslashes. I suspect that you compiled this in a Spanish locale. Bear in mind that this is not portable.

That said, I put backslashes in front of the diacritical marks and obtained what you showed in your comment. I am not completely sure what 'i is expected to do but since the dot in i needs to be dropped, I believe that the dot-less i will do. So, I replaced Lu{'i}s with Lu{\'\i}s and it produced the accent above the i.

No, it was not using the proper markdown markup here. Comment updated.

I'll close this since you are right that is the proper way to write í (although pdfLaTeX seems quite lenient and produces the correct output with \'i.

Apologies, I thought about re-opening this because biblatex does not like \'\i See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/469555/unicode-u301-error-in-biblatex-but-not-in-main-text-i but I now think this is a problem in biblatex that hopefully will be solved some day.
