Always written with a capital letter. Use 'an Austrian' for one person and 'Austrians' or 'the Austrians' when talking about the people of the country in general. Distinguish from the adjective: say 'She is Austrian' (adjective) or 'She is an Austrian' (noun) — both are correct, but the adjective form is more common in everyday speech.
