Re: Weird behavior with characters

tried to set your source code files encoding to UTF-8? The default of
many IDEs is to set them as ISO-8859-1, wich messes up with accented
chars, make sure you are rendering your content in UTF-8 too. But
anyway, I would like to point that it's not a good idea, accented
chars are generally a pain the back to handle in source code, and they
are not even allowed in HTML, so your views are probably going to
render in quirks mode, or you are just messing with your code
validation.
You are better off using l10n in views to display them with accented
chars.
