Hi,
Probably this is a mismatch of the character set used in your page, in
the request, and/or on your server. As I understand it, by default
HTTP requests use ISO-8859-1, not Unicode. [1] ISO-8859-1 (aka
"latin1") correctly allows for the 'ñ' ("enya") [2] and so provided
you're sending the correct character (it's a single eight-bit value),
you should be fine. I'd check the encoding of the page itself, check
to see whether the server is applying some other character set instead
of ISO-8859-1 (which it shouldn't be unless you're specifying the
charset header in the request), etc., etc.

FWIW...
